Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich was born on September 8th, 1774, at Flamske, near Koesfeld, Westphalia, in West Germany, and became a nun of the Augustinian Order on November 13th, 1803, in the Convent of Agnetenberg at DÃ¼lmen (also in Westphalia). She died on February 9th, 1824. Although of simple education, she had perfect consciousness of her earliest days and could understand the liturgical Latin from her first time at Mass.

During the last five years of her life the day-by-day transcription of her visions and mystical experiences was recorded by Clemens Brentano, poet, literary leader, friend of Goethe and GÃ¶rres, who, from the time he met her, abandoned his distinguished career and devoted the rest of his life to this work.

The immense mass of notes preserved in his journals forms one of the most extensive case histories of a mystic ever kept and provides the source for the material found in this book, plus much of what is found in her two-volume definitive biography written by V. Rev. Carl E. SchmÃ¶ger, C.SS.R.

The text of this work is from the first and only English version of the combined Biblical visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich. The original was published in 1914 by DesclÃ©e, de Brouwer (Bruges, Belgium) as The Lowly Life and Bitter Passion of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother, together with the Mysteries of the Old Testament.

The text is that of the 4th German edition of the 1881 version of the Very Rev. Carl E. SchmÃ¶ger, C.SS.R., a compilation of the three classic works: The Life of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, The Bitter Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and The Life of Mary. The translation was made by an American nun, since deceased, who wished to remain anonymous.
