The sadness of Christ

[aservant]

By St Thomas More.

Has anyone read this gem of a book?

I just finished reading it and I will have to reread it again soon. And then again.

I haven’t read it. What’s Christ sad over in it, specifically?

The book sounds very interesting! I’ve often thought Jesus was sad (esp. in Mark’s gospel). Is the book online?

 

[aservant]

It’s a commentary of his agony in the garden of Gethsemane and the events proceeding his arrest.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

I’m sure St. Thomas More had occasion to relate to that greatly when he himself got arrested and executed.

Scepter published the copy I purchased.

Is that a Catholic publisher?

I’m looking at the reviews and it says St. Thomas More wrote it when he was in jail to be executed??
