The Stations of the Cross

As we enter into the Lenten season, I offer my reflection for the month on a set of Stations of the Cross which I have found to be very challenging and thought provoking.  I have had the set for some time and they were produced by Maryknoll Education Resources in North America. Some of the images relate to issues of times gone by, however, the problems of injustice and suffering continue to be borne in every corner of our very broken world today.

You may find you will search for more current images to depict today's sufferings and perhaps share these images with us also. It may also be that through our sharing we create a new set of "Stations".
 
As we pray and walk together the Way of the Cross may our hearts be open to receive the gifts this season offers us.

I am hoping to be sending a "Station" every 2nd day throughout March! Here they are below:

 

1st Station – Jesus is Condemned

2nd Station – Jesus Carries the Cross

3rd Station – Jesus Falls the First Time

4th Station – Jesus Meets His Mother

5th Station – Simeon Helps Jesus

6th Station – Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

7th Station – Jesus Falls a Second Time

8th Station – Jesus Comforts the Women

9th Station – Jesus Falls a Third Time

10th Station – Jesus is Stripped

11th Station – Jesus is Nailed to the Cross

12th Station – Jesus Dies on the Cross

13th Station – The Body of Jesus is Taken Down

14th Station – Jesus is Buried

15th Station – Alleluia! Jesus is Risen
