Stations of the Cross

From ancient times, Christians have made pilgrimages to holy places. In the medieval period, when pilgrimage to Jerusalem was popular, people there began to walk the traditional path Jesus took from his arrest to his passion and death. Because not everyone could travel to Jerusalem, the church began to offer local pilgrimage liturgies - Stations of the Cross. Stations of the Cross can be said as a private form of prayer or as a public liturgy.

The version of the service in this booklet comes from the Saint Augustine Prayer Book. While it differs slightly from the version found in the Book of Occasional Services, the text is based on the same sources.

Disciples on the Way

Experience a Lenten journey that will prepare you to walk throughout your life as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Carol Mead reflects on discipleship and the season in these daily meditations for the forty days of Lent.

Cheer our Spirits: Make Safe the Way
Meditations for Advent and Christmas

"Beyond waiting and longing, Advent invites us to journey and sing along with Mary and Joseph as they answer God's call... Christmas comes, bekconing us to live into the joy and proclaim it with our very lives."

Longing and joy are both part of the journey through Advent and Christmas. Francisco J. Garcia, Jr., explores that journey through familiar hymns and carols, the songs and stories used during Latino festivals such as Las Posadas, and other cherished traditions of the season.
