50 Meditations on the Passion

Archbishop Goodier published these 50 Meditations in 1925. In his author s preface he wrote These notes were written a long time ago in Lent, 1909. At the time a certain religious, now dead, used often to speak with me about prayer, and about the labor she had experienced in prayer. I used to notice how easily she would fly along a line of contemplation if the tiniest suggestion were made to her, and several times I ventured to make such suggestions in the shape of points for meditation. The points here collected were written for this purpose. They were written for two only; but others who have seen them have found them useful and have asked that they may be printed. If they are a help to any in prayer, I can only be grateful to our Lord. The publishers at Loreto hope that the modern reader will find in this little volume as much useful material for initiating meditation as did the original readers.
