The Stations of the Cross

Here is a handbook for those wishing to make the stations of the cross. Each station contains a drawing of the scent, a quote from Scripture, a short ejaculation at the beginning, a meditation on that particular station, and the closing prayers Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. In addition, the author explains the origins of the stations. Drawing on scripture, sacred tradition, and historical analysis, this book on a popular, perennial devotion is ideal for Lenten use or for use all year round. It leads the reader devotionally up the hill of Calvary in the footsteps of Jesus. Highlights: - easy-to-handle size - may be used in a church or chapel where users move from station to station - is perfect for those who don't have access to the stations - someone who is ill, bedridden, or housebound - could be used by religious education classes in parishes or parochial schools
