Anne Catherine Emmerich, a nun who was privileged to behold innumerable events of biblical times, going back all the way to the creation of the world. She witnessed the fall of the Angels, the sin of Adam, Noe and the Flood, the lives of St. John the Baptist, St. Anne, St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Mary Magdalen. Also includes the birth, life, public ministry, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the founding of His Church. Besides describing persons, places, events and traditions in intimate detail, Anne Catherine Emmerich also sets forth the mystical significance of these visible realities.

March 5, 2025I found this book "In A Year" on a TAN Books podcast that started on May 22, 2024. They picked that start date so that her visions of Jesus' Passion, Death and Resurrection match up liturgically from Ash Wednesday through the Resurrection on Easter Sunday, 2025.
I'm starting on Day 246, Ash Wednesday in Volume 4 of the book (because the calendar won't match up next year) and then will circle back around to the previous three volumes.

This four-volume series has been one of the most significant along my faith journey, bringing detail and life to familiar Bible stories. I would set it along with Maria Valtorta's Poem of the Man God--five volumes-- as an invaluable resource for growing in relationship with Jesus Christ and for understanding the big picture of salvation history. As a bonus the reader gets to know Mary and the apostles and disciples and develops new understanding about the development of both Judaism and Catholicism. I read the four volumes over the course of a year, only a chapter or so at a time each morning. I highly recommend it to all who take their faith seriously!

Sve preporuke! Sadrži mnogo detalja i objašnjenja vezanih uz poznate događaje iz Evanđelja, kao i puno dodatnih neispričanih događaja. Također, velika je pomoć u razvijanju odnosa s Bogom i boljim razumijevanjem Njegovog ljudskog života i poslanja.
