Prayer pages for March by Donna Peterson
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
