On the Importance of Being the
Suffering Servant
The Suffering Servant is a figure described in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah.
Indeed, its direct and indirect use by Our Lord Jesus Christ and its vast
role in the life of the Church
had led the Fathers to refer to this book as the “Fifth Gospel.”

Christine Haapala is the author of over 13 Scriptural prayer books.
She founded Suffering Servant Scriptorium in the Jubilee year –
2000. The Suffering Servant’s Courage was one of her first
prayer book. This new pocket-size format means you can carry
the book in your back pocket, briefcase, or purse, thus having
it available anytime for prayer.
This prayer book integrates poignant Sacred Scripture verses about
courage and strength, the prayers of the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary,
and the inspired artistic genius of the 19th century Catholic illustrator,
Gustave Dore. All 20 Rosary mysteries are included.
These Bible stories show how much Jesus suffered for you and me.
Since Jesus’ birth, the Blessed Virgin Mary bore the prophetic message
that her heart would be “pierced by a sword.” She was nearly alone
at the foot of the cross. Mary’s heart was surely pierced,
when she saw her son’s heart, pierced by a lance.
"I have heard many Catholics say that they found the Rosary monotonous. ...
Christine Haapala’s Scriptural Rosary, with illustrations by Gustave
Dore, is anything but boring. It helps one to pray the Rosary while really
meditating…
from Introduction
To love as the Suffering Servant means to follow the path of
self-sacrifice – a way that would be impossible without the courage
of the Suffering Servant.

Inspiration and Meditation through Art and Literature
Pope Benedict XV's Encyclical on Dante "IN PRAECLARA SUMMORUM" (April 30, 1921) stated that "Among the many celebrated geniuses of whom the Catholic faith can boast who have left undying fruits in literature ... highest stands the name of Dante Alighieri..." [IPS, 1] Dante's Divine Comedy is organized on the basis of the number seven - the seven circles of Inferno; the seven terraces on the mountain of Purgatorio; and, the seven spheres of Paradiso. Three pictures from The Dore Illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy are included for each of the Seven Visits. The first picture is from Purgatorio and reflects on the particular vice we wish to eliminate. The next two pictures from Paradiso are one artist's interpretation of the beatific vision - God's promise of eternal life. Pope Benedict XV further said that while the Divine Comedy "uses various symbolic images and records the lives of mortals on earth, it has for its true aim the glorification of the justice and providence of God who rules the world through time and all eternity and punishes and rewards the actions of individuals and human society." [IPS, 4]
