The 5 volumes of the Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich are nearly 2,500 pages of her mystical visions on the life of Christ from birth to Resurrection. Ligth on Light is a condensed version of her visions and the book is 272 pages. During the last 12 years of her life she neither ate nor drank and had the 5 wounds of Jesus on her body (stigmata). Mel Gibson based much of his movie "The Passion" on her visons. Many who read the book are brought to tears.
