Synopsis
The Tears of Christ meditations of St. John Henry Newman (1801–1890), published as a devotional aid for the season of Lent, are now re-produced in a handsome faux leather edition with space for personal journaling. Drawn chiefly from his sermons and gently modernized, these meditations offer a share in the fruit of Newman’s contemplation, that we might the better enjoy with him the “one thing which is all in all to us,” which is “to live in Christ’s presence, to hear his voice, to see his countenance.”

About the Author
St. John Henry Newman was born in England in 1801. He spent his early adult life as an Anglican priest and academic. Involved in what was known as the Oxford Movement, a movement within Anglicanism that supported the return to some Catholic beliefs and liturgical reform, he later left the Church of England. He converted to the Catholic Church, was ordained a Catholic priest, and years later was made a cardinal. Newman was widely known as a powerful preacher before and after his conversion to the Catholic Church, and was an extremely prolific author, writing sermons, essays, poetry, hymns, and an autobiography. He died in 1890, was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010, and was canonized by Pope Francis in 2019.
