At St
James Catholic Church this year, I made a very strong appeal for members to
come to the Stations of the Cross this year.
We had a wonderful turnout this year – between 150 and 200 individuals
joining us to pray the Stations of the Cross each week, both in Spanish and in
English. Our wonderful Junior High Youth Group led the stations last night – a big
thank you to them and to their advisors Ms. Dawn and Ms. Laine for a great
job! Here are some closing reflections
from the Conclusion to the stations that we prayed last night – they are a
wonderful commentary on our Lenten Journey:
We have
walked the way of the cross with Jesus during Lent. We have explored his way of love. We did not do this just to remember events
that happened in the past, but rather we did this to transform the way we live
today. Now we are challenged to change
the way we walk on this earth. We are
challenged to walk with love by being people of responsibility, acceptance,
faith, commitment, humility, compassion, friendship, selflessness, endurance,
simplicity, forgiveness, trust, openness, and hope, May God’s grace guide us on our journey of
faith. We ask this through the Holy
Spirit, and through the salvation we receive through Christ Our Lord. AMEN.
