Overview

COMPLETELY REDESIGNED AND UPDATED! The Stations of the Cross is a beloved devotion of the Church, especially during Lent. As early as the 4th century, Christians pilgrims to the Holy Land would walk the route that our Lord walked as He made his way to Golgotha for our salvation. Later, when Jerusalem was captured and it became too dangerous to make this pilgrimage, Christians replicated the sites back home in Europe, and there developed the Stations of the Cross devotion also known as Via Dolorosa. Today we observe 14 stations, with the Resurrection an optional 15th. Meditating on the passion of Christ draws us closer to him and helps us to receive his love in our hearts. As we take time to reflect on each of the Stations of the Cross, our prayer life is deepened and our subsequent experiences of prayer take on new meaning. As you walk with Jesus toward Calvary, may God give you insight into his sacrificial love for us through Jesus, our Lord. Praying the Stations of the Cross prayer journal is designed to be used during Lent or at any time for meditation upon the Stations of the Cross. It encourages anyone who desires to grow in prayer to take each Station of the Cross and pray using lectio divina. Scripture passages for each station as well as inspirational quotations from Cardinal John Henry Newman are included, along with instructions on the four stages of lectio divina. Our goal in this kind of prayer is to encounter our Lord as he speaks to our hearts and transforms our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.
