St. John Henry Newman, regarded as the most important English theologian of the nineteenth century, poignantly reflects on the thoughts that tormented Jesus as a result of His friends' betrayals and the anguish of His Heart in willingly suffering all for love of us. These penetrating meditations will enable you to enter more deeply into our Savior's Passion through multiple vantage points. This work features three of Cardinal Newman's most esteemed classics: Meditations on Lent: Hope in God, Redeemer; Sermons on Lent; and Meditations on the Stations of the Cross. In these pages, he invites you to ponder the eternal value of suffering, God's infinite love for each individual soul, the real reasons for fasting, and why you should repent now. Through Newman's magnificently insightful lens, you will discover the actual cause of Jesus' death and, as you reflect on the magnitude of His sufferings for our sins, be stirred to more ardently seek holiness. As Newman's insights challenge you to examine your life more honestly and behold our Savior with deeper compassion, you will: * Identify more readily with the various players in the Passion * Learn the secret to receiving God's healing mercy, in this life and the next * Journey with Our Lady in her loneliness and sufferings * Unite your trials, pain, and weakness to Christ, and thereby attain peace * Experience Jesus' compassion as you endure temptation and even sin * Grow in virtue and acceptance of suffering to help you attain Heaven As Newman shares his innermost thoughts on the sufferings of Our Lord, you will be transported into the scenes and experience His Passion as never before, vividly witnessing His bodily and interior sufferings, and contemplating His Face and His Heart.

Five years later he was elected to a Fellowship at Oriel College. He was ordained as an Anglican clergyman.When studying the history of the early Church Fathers, Newman was perturbed to discover that the doctrinal position of the Anglican Church in his own day bore a close resemblance to some of the heretical currents that had emerged in the theological controversies of the early centuries.He withdrew from Oxford in order to think and pray.
