The Crucifixion — A Marian Meditation on the text of Fr. Frederick Faber
A meditation on the original text of Fr. Faber by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Make no mistake— Fr. Faber's original work on the Seven Dolors of Our Lady (The Foot of the Cross, of which the present book is but a re-rendering of one chapter) is sublime. One could argue that it stands in the field of Marian literature virtually unsurpassed for the wealth of its insights and the grandeur of its expressions. Truly, its pathos is breathtaking. Its thoughts are deep and original and well-nigh heartbreakingly beautiful. It deserves to be read by every serious Catholic on earth, not once but many, many times; for advancing in the love of Mary, we know, is the surest, easiest way to advance in the love of Christ, and this is the whole purpose of our mortal existence.
Whoever you are, dear Catholic, whatever duties press upon you in your current state in life, you need not hesitate to pick up this modified masterpiece of Fr. Faber and immerse yourself in its richness. It is perfectly accessible. It is a book for every Catholic, and that means you.
