Al Smith from Radio Maria interviews two Carmelites of the Holy Face from Ireland about their book titled Arma Christi - The Weapons of Our Warfare. Daily Meditations for Lent on the Instruments of the Passion.
'Arma Christi: The Weapons of Our Warfare' is a book of meditations on the various instruments of the Passion arranged for each day in Lent, compiled by the Carmelites of the Holy Face. Meditation on the Passion has an important place in the spiritual life of any devout Christian. By focussing on each instrument separately, one is drawn to consider all the circumstances in which it was used and this is of great help in meditating on the sufferings of Our Lord in His Passion. For added emphasis and as an aid to memorise the intention for the day, each meditation begins with a visual image (original painting) and a short concise poem of eight lines which summarises the actual meditation. These meditations offer an excellent way of deepening one’s spiritual life by deeper reflection on the Passion. They focus on the work of reparation, which Our Lord said to Sr. Mary of St. Peter is “the most excellent of all devotions.” The meditations are written in the light of the current Crisis in the Church and hence are extremely relevant for the present time. Without getting involved in politics or theological debates, they present the reader with a concrete solution and positive encouragement to do whatever he or she can to hasten the Triumph of Our Lady. They emphasise the importance and value of prayer and sacrifice, especially when united to the sufferings of Our Lord in His Passion.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the only book of meditations on the instruments of the Passion. These “weapons” are precisely what is needed to combat the malice of revolutionary men. In 1847, after warning of the approaching threat of Communism, Our Lord said to Sr. Mary of St. Peter: “To arm you for the battle ahead, I give you the weapons of My Passion, that is My Cross which these enemies dread, and also the other instruments of My tortures.” By these words He clearly indicated the remedy for Communism is not only the Holy Face Devotion, but also the instruments of His Passion. Both ecclesial and civil society are suffering at the hands of revolutionary men, hence the need for such a remedy is evident. This book provides a definite plan for using these weapons. It has been written especially with the laity in view, but without excluding priests and religious who may profitably make use of it also. "The Arma Christi (Instruments of the Passion or Weapons of Christ) are the objects associated with the Passion of Our Lord, His suffering, death, and burial. In medieval times there was a great devotion to the Arma Christi. Illustrated manuscripts from as early as the ninth century make reference to the different instruments of the Passion, often in the form of a poem accompanied by appropriate drawings. In the ages of chivalry, various instruments of the Passion featured on the coat of arms belonging to certain devout families. They were not infrequently incorporated in stone engravings on tombs and high crosses throughout Ireland and England... "We are in the midst of the greatest battle in history. It is a battle all the greater in that it is a spiritual one. Communism adopts many different names and disguises, but it gives itself away by its erroneous philosophy which is in stark contrast to Christianity. It is not merely a battle for land or for temporal power. It is not merely a struggle to unite the nations in a new world order where each one is at liberty to believe what they choose and to act as they please. Essentially it is a battle for the souls of mankind. The communists are but instruments in the hands of Satan who is using them to make war on the Church and to drag souls to Hell. To effectively combat them, we must arm ourselves with divine weapons." The book 'Arma Christ'i can be purchased on the Amazon platform all over the world. https://www.amazon.com/Arma-Christi-W...
