Product information
  • The details of Christ's sufferings and death have been confused and obscured over the past two millennia
  • Provides the most accurate, up-to-date understanding of the physical sufferings of Jesus
  • Novena instructions on a full color brochure
  • Expression of trust, faith and encouragement for someone you cherish

This powerful two-piece devotional gift set invites you to reflect deeply on Christ’s suffering while learning to entrust every burden to His Sacred Heart.

What Christ Suffered: A Doctor’s Journey Through the Passion, Revised and Expanded by Dr. Thomas W. McGovern offers a compelling and medically informed examination of the Passion of Jesus. 

Drawing on ancient Greek and Latin sources, archaeological discoveries, early depictions of crucifixion, and modern medical research, Dr. McGovern presents the most accurate understanding to date of the physical sufferings Christ endured during His Passion. 

Correcting long-held myths and misunderstandings, this profound study allows readers to enter more fully into the reality of Christ’s sacrifice and to reflect on the meaning of suffering in light of the teachings of Pope St. John Paul II in Salvifici Doloris.

We have paired the book with a Surrender Novena and Sacred Heart Chaplet Set, centered on the powerful prayer revealed by Jesus to Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo, who was a contemporary of St. Padre Pio.

The included booklet explains the beloved Surrender Novena, which invites believers to entrust every worry and trial to Jesus with complete confidence in His care. The accompanying Sacred Heart Chaplet tenner features rich red and gold glass beads and an antiqued gold-tone Sacred Heart centerpiece, serving as a tangible reminder to place every concern into Christ’s loving hands.

Together, this meaningful set encourages deeper reflection on Christ’s redemptive suffering and fosters a spirit of trust, surrender, and hope in His infinite mercy. It makes a thoughtful devotional gift for anyone seeking greater understanding of the Passion and renewed confidence in the loving providence of Jesus.
