M -6 I9i4 TO MARY THE MOTHER OF SORROWS this translation of the Dolorous Passion of her Beloved Son is offered in loving devotion This tribute of love we lay at thy feet, O Virgin of virgins, O Mary most sweet. (Little Office of the Immaculate Conception.) Is there one who would not weep, Whelmed in miseries so deep, Christ's dear Mother to behold ? Can the human heart rehrain From partaking in her pain, In that Mother's pain untold ? {Stahat Mater.) TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. ''The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ accord- ing to the Revelations of Blessed Anna Catherine Emmerich" is a book that may justly be called a world's book. It is destined for all Christian peo- ple, and deserves to be translated into every language. With a clearness that fills the soul with over- whelming emotion, the magnitude and intensity of the sufferings of Jesus Christ and the compassion of His Blessed Mother are placed before our eyes. No human heart can be so hardened as not to be deeply moved to compassion in reading this book and meditating on its contents. These revelations of the Passion of Christ were made to a saintly person, who received the impressions of the five holy wounds in her own body, who suffered inex- pressibly with Christ, to such a degree, indeed, that when Our Lord showed her His agony, He placed His hand compassionately on her breast and said : ''No one has yet seen all this, and terror would cleave thy heart asunder, did I not hold it together." Translator's Preface. In translating this book into English, we have adhered closely to the oldest text of the German original, and have eliminated everything that might not be interesting to the reader, or that might have an annojring effect. We wish to remsu'k, that private revelations, according to the decrees of Pope Urban VIII. in the years 1634 and 1641, in so far as the Church has not decided upon them, claim only human credence. Go forth, then, devout and holy book, go forth into the Catholic world. Enter into Christian homes and effect untold good for the salvation of many. Praised be Jesus Christ!

OF all forms of Catholic devotion the devotion to the Passion of Our Lord and Savior is the mo^ ancient, the mo^ venerable, the mo^ universal. Jesus Himself has written the remembrance of His Pcission deep into the hearts of His faithful. What else is Holy Mass but the unbloody renewal of His Psission ? What else Holy Communion but a memo- rial of His Passion ? And when, in order to atone for our chilling coldness tow^ards the Sacrament of Love, for our forgetfulness and ingratitude towards Our Lord's redeeming Death — when for this purpose fervent souls burn with love for the Heart of Jesus, what else do they do than sink their memories and affe<$lions into the depths of our Savior's Passion ? How deep, think you, were the wounds of Jesus chiseled into the Heart of Mary? From His death to her own, so it was revealed to many favored souls. His entire Passion was reenacted in her every week. Twas the Dolorous Mother who firit pradticed the Way of the Cross. The Apo^les, too, lived and breathed in the my^ery of the Passion and Death of their Ma^er. Think of St Andrew, who hung two days upon his 11 ! : Introdudlion. beloved cross, or of St. Peter, who in humble love for his Lord was crucified head downwards. To realize how Wrongly Holy Mother Church desires her children to think over and over again upon the Passion of Jesus, we need but glance at the many fea^s she has in^ituted in honor of this mys- tery. How overpowering are the ceremonies of Holy Week, particularly the Lamentations ! How beautiful and touching the fea^ of the Finding and the Exal- tation of the Cross No wonder, then, that the saints of all ages have been unable to tear themselves away from the Cross. Out of thousands of te^imonies to be found in their writings, let us here consider a few brief passages Saint Bonaventure : "Let him who desires to at- tain union with God keep the eyes of his soul ever fixed on Him who hangs dying on the Cross. 'Tis from those wounds of the Savior that man draws power to suffer, not with patience merely but with joy." "Nothing so promotes our salvation as daily to contemplate the excessive pain endured by the God- Man for love of us. The marks on His body wound even the hardeit hearts and inflame even the mo^ zealous souls." "If thou, O man, would^ climb from one virtue to another, if thou would^ lead a perfect life, then contemplate daily on the Passion of Chri^. Nothing else can drive the soul so powerfully to holiness. By frequent experience I have learned that when we devoutly think of the Passion of our Lord all devils are terrified and put to flight." 12 Value of Meditating on the Passion of ChriSl. St Alphonsus of Liguori : "A soul that believes in the Passion of Jesus Chri^ and frequently thinks thereon, will find it impossible to go on offending her Savior. Rather, she will have to begin to love Him, yea, she will even, in the holy sense of the word, have to become foolish for love, in beholding a God become foolish for love of her." "Meditation is the blessed hearth where burns the precious fire of divine love. Daily consider and contemplate the Passion of Chri^, and when thy heart begins in turn to burn with love, then pray and med- itate ^ill more." "Souls that are tortured by the devil and trem- bling for their eternal salvation will feel great conso- lation in withdrawing their eyes from the outward world and fixing them on the Cross where Jesus hangs bleeding from every wound. The sight of the cruci- fied One drives from our soul all desires for the goods of this world. Down from the Cross where Jesus hangs on high there floats a heavenly atmosphere that makes us forget all that is earthly, that inflames us with a holy desire to love nothing but Jesus alone, who in love laid down His life for us." "Oh how devoutly and readily will he obey the voice of God who frequently remembers how much Jesus Chri^ has done for love of us ! How continu- !" ously and decisively will he advance in virtue St Augu§line : "Nothing is more salutary than daily to recall how much the God-Man has done for us." "Brethren, let us look upon our crucified Jesus in order to be healed of our sins." 13 Introdudtion. "As often as I am attacked I seek refuge in the wounds of Jesus, I fly into the heart of the mercies of my Lord. Chri^ died for me — this is my sweet con- solation when suffering weighs mo^ heavy. All my hope re^ on the death of Chri^." "A single tear shed in memory of the Passion of Chriit outbaleinces a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, or a year's iaiSt on bread and water." St Bernard: "Nothing is better suited to heal the wounds of conscience, to purify and perfedt the soul, than continued contemplation of the wounds of Chri^." "Contemplation of Our Lord's sufferings is what I ilyle wisdom; in them I find the riches of salvation and the fulness of merit; from them I dip the draughts, now of salutary bitterness, now of sweete^ conso- lation." Following of Chri§l : "Do^ thou wish to learn the love of Jesus, to cleanse thy soul from all its spots and adorn it with all virtues, to win a glorious vidtory from the enemies of thy salvation, to enjoy sweet consolation in the mid^ of suffering and pain, to make great progress in prayer, to obtain final perse- verance, to die a blessed death and reign forever in Heaven — then contemplate diligently the Passion and Death of Our Divine Redeemer." 14 A Sketch of the Wonderful Life of the Augustinian Nun Blessed Anna Catherine Emmerich.

  • Introduction to the “Vanguard Reprints” by Roel Velema
    “THE VANGUARD”REPRINTS. Introduction to the “Vanguard Reprints” by Roel Velema David Morrieson Panton (1870-1955), the author of the Vanguard Reprints, ministered at Surrey Chapel, Norwich, England. He succeeded Robert Govett (1813-1901) in that pulpit. Panton was the founder and editor of Dawn magazine, a strong voice for deep Scriptural and prophetical truth from 1924 until his death in 1955. He was known as “The Prince of Prophecy.” David Panton was born in Jamaica, where his father was first archdeacon, a missionary of the Church of England. His uncle was Archbishop of West Indies. DMP (as he was affectionately known), came to England to study, taking a law degree at Gaius College, Cambridge. Impressed by the teaching of Robert Govett surrounding Christ’s coming kingdom and glory, he gave up his legal career, being fully occupied with these and related truths such as the responsibility and accountability of every Christian for his stewardship before the judgment seat of his Lord. DMP wrote numerous tracts and books, including Rapture and The Judgment Seat of Christ. In later years, because of his health, he preached only once a month at Surrey Chapel, eventually retiring in 1941. Mrs. Margaret Barber (1866-1930), a British missionary in China, and instrumental in the spiritual growth of Watchman Nee, wrote in 1926 in a letter to David Panton: “Nothing you ever printed was more valuable than those concise rich Bible Studies called ‘Vanguard Reprints’. ” This indicates that the Vanguard Reprints have been written during the first part of Panton’s ministry and probably before or soon after he started to edit the Dawn magazine in 1924.

  • Mendl Mann the Fall of Berlin
    M Mendl Mann The Fall of Berlin Mendl Mann TranslaTed and wiTh an inTroducTion by Maurice wolfThal endl The Fall of Berlin M Mendl Mann’s autobiographical novel The Fall of Berlin tells the painful yet compelling story of life as a Jewish soldier in the Red Army. Menakhem ann Isaacovich is a Polish Jew who, afer feeing the Nazis, fnds refuge in the USSR. The novel follows Menakhem as he fghts on the front line in Stalin’s Red Army T against Hitler and the Nazis who are destroying his homeland of Poland and he exterminatng the Jews. F all Menakhem encounters ant-Semitsm on various occasions throughout the o narratve, and struggles to comprehend how seemingly normal people could F hold such appalling views. As Mann writes, it is odd that “vicious, insidious ant- B erlin Semitsm could reside in a person with elevated feelings, an average person, a decent person”. The Fall of Berlin is both a striking and tmely look at the struggle that many Jewish soldiers faced. Skillfully translated from Yiddish and introduced by Maurice Wolfhal, this is an afectng and unique book which eloquently explores a variety of themes – ant-Semitsm, patriotsm, Stalinism and life as a Jewish soldier in the Second World War. The Fall of Berlin is essental reading for anyone interested in the Yiddish language, Jewish history, and the history of World War II. As with all Open Book publicatons, this entre book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website. Printed and digital editons, together with supplementary digital material, can also be found at www.openbookpublishers.

  • Us Policy Toward North Korea After Kim Dae-Jung
    1 THE NUCLEAR IMPASSE ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA: THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME Dennis Florig The revelation that North Korea has been secretly enriching uranium for nuclear weapons in violation of its international commitments has thrown the Korean peninsula into crisis. The sunshine policy of South Korean President Kim Dae Jung has been undermined, but the Bush administration’s hard-line expressed in the “axis of evil” speech has also come in for criti- cism. At the root of the current crisis is the failure of all sides to face up to the fundamental security issues. Hard-liners in the U.S. and the South should reconsider their desires for rapid regime change in the North in light of its catastrophic conse- quences. The interaction between reform in the North and eas- ing of its security situation needs to be more clearly recognized. Analysis of policy options to reverse the North’s nuclear pro- grams shows that use of military force is much too costly and damaging to regional security. And that isolation and sanctions alone will not stop the North from acquiring nuclear weapons. In the long run, the way to get the North to truly abandon its nuclear programs is not to isolate it further or try to buy it off only with economic aid, but to establish security cooperation in which all sides will have their security concerns addressed. International Journal of Korean Unification Studies, Vol. 11, No. 2, 2002, pp. 1-24.
