It is impossible not to be struck by the devotion to the Sacred Passion that breathes in almost every page, as well as by the evidence of the most tender love of the writer for the glorious Mother of God.Lastly, the name of St. Bonaventure, with whom the treatise is associated, gives it a special interest for English-speaking Catholics when we remember that Pope Clement IV.
