Literary notes about passible (AI summary)

The term "passible" is employed in literature to capture the notion of vulnerability and the capacity to suffer. In the cited examples from "Revelations of Divine Love" [1][2], the word describes the Christ figure in terms that emphasize his empathetic suffering—first as a state where he is subject to pain and sorrow, and later, following his resurrection, as a transformed condition where he remains ever-present through continued suffering with humanity. This dual use underlines the theological idea of suffering as both a shared human experience and a redemptive power, illustrating how "passible" encapsulates a complex interplay between divine empathy and mortal affliction.
  1. For as long as He was passible He suffered for us and sorrowed for us; and now He is uprisen and no more passible, yet He suffereth with us.
    — from Revelations of Divine Love
  2. For as long as He was passible He suffered for us and sorrowed for us; and now He is uprisen and no more passible, yet He suffereth with us.
    — from Revelations of Divine Love
