Crib to Cross: Meditations on the Life of Christ

Catholics who wish to begin having a deeper spiritual life can find no better way to begin their journey than with this excellent work.

Crib to Cross is a collection of beautiful meditations written over a hundred years ago with the young Catholic in mind. It has now become an excellent introductory guide to the world of meditation for beginners of all ages. Catholics who wish to begin having a deeper spiritual life can find no better way to begin their journey than with this excellent work. It is profound yet concise and simple for all to follow. At every age and in every circumstance in our lives, we can relate to some aspect of the life of Christ as we follow Him from His Crib to His Cross.

"But where are the true Christians who cause their religion to be blessed, and not blasphemed? Alas! they are rare in the world. And why? Because the greater number of Catholics have only a surface religion, without any substance, and entirely devoid of the two great pillars of a supernatural life—prayer and sacrifice. With Christians leading an interior life, the future will belong to Christianity."
