    • Friday, April 11

      7:00pm
      In the Church
      These special Stations of the Cross offer a profoundly powerful understanding of Jesus’ “Via Dolorosa,” or “Way of Sorrow,” as seen through the eyes of His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

      We witness Christ’s Passion, Crucifixion and Death as Mary witnessed them; we surrender and put our faith in the Heavenly Father as Mary did when seeing her Son crushed for our offenses; and we rejoice and find eternal hope in the coming Resurrection of the Lord, as Mary did when standing as a woman of strength at the foot of Jesus’ Cross.  

      The Blessed Mother is truly our Mother, given to each Christian by the Lord Himself from the altar-wood of the Cross.  Come experience these contemplative Stations of the Cross and enter the “schoolhouse of Mary” in your meditation of Jesus’ sacrifice for each of us through the eyes of His Mother.  

      These Marian Stations of the Cross will incorporate candlelight, sung and accompanied music, and spoken reflections as taken from the maternal Heart of Our Lady.  Come join us, and through prayer and mediation, stand with Mary at the foot of Jesus’ Cross and thank God for the priceless gift of our salvation.
