He was canonized in 1839 and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1871.In this fifth volume of his "Aesthetical Works", Liguori examines closely the death of Jesus. He tells the reader that to meditate on the suffering of Christ brings many graces, and the soul that meditates on the sufferings of the cross will never stray into mortal sin. With references from every corner of Christendom, including Sacred Scripture, the saints, and the Holy Fathers, this powerful book is ideal for personal reflection.
