The Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross is celebrated by many churches at Easter.  But Mary, our Blessed Mother, did not create the Holy Way of the Cross (Stations of the Cross) to only be celebrated at Easter.  She created the Holy Way of the Cross to be celebrated outside, each morning and each evening.  If Catholic Tradition holds then Mary, our Blessed Mother, was the one to first create the Stations of the Cross and it seems only wise to do it as Mary did and build them outside so they are available for daily worship and meditation.

Covid, and possibly other diseases, may be problematic for a long time to come, but we need to stay connected to our churches, our community and to Jesus.  Creating an outdoor “Holy Way of the Cross” , as the Blessed Mother did, would help us to do all three!

Mary created the Holy Way of the Cross to give people the great gift of meditating on Christ’s Life.  Our Father created us to worship as a community.  And with so many not attending church because of Covid, this would give us all a safer way to worship and stay connected to our church. 

As the world darkens and the persecution of Christians increases, we will need to feel connected to Christ, to our Church and to our Community.  What better way than this?

Building outdoor Stations of the Cross can help the faithful stay faithful.  And creating outdoor spaces where we can gather together to worship and meditate of Christ Life-as well as Honor Mary at the same time can only help us in the coming days.

Keep The Faith-Jesus IS coming back ?
