Stations of the Cross and ResurrectionThree journeys with Jesus through Good Friday and Easteran e-book by Ian Black A resource to accompany Times and Seasons. Walking the way of the cross has been an established part of Christian devotion for centuries. Beginning with Christian pilgrims from early days tracing the steps of Jesus' final moments in Jerusalem, the practice was brought home and grew in popularity, particularly among those who could not make the journey. The traditional practice is to read a passage of the Bible associated with the event and to spend a moment reflecting on this. This book is a resource to aid that reflection. Each Station ends with a short prayer. Some churches have pictures or scultures (stations) which can be used to focus each event or point on the journey. This book provides resources for three sets of stations: a fully Scriptural set, the traditional Stations and Stations of the Resurrection, which journey with the disciples as they come to terms with the first Easter - details of which can be found in the sample pages. They follow the order set out in the Church of England book Times and Seasons. The reflections aim to form connections with the human emotions that the passion and resurrection engender. They are brief because of the context in which they are intended to be used. The prayers have been specially written for these stations and have a deliberately simple style, providing an alternative to other provision. This book can be used either as part of a private journey or corporately. It is self contained, so apart from pictures includes everything you need to journey through the stations. My prayer is that it will assist with encountering the love of God who gives his very self for us and draws us to share in his risen glory. Click on the link below to begin your journey!
