The Stations of the Cross is a Lenten devotion that offers witness to Jesus' Passion and Death. At each station we use our senses and our imagination to reflect prayerfully upon Jesus' suffering, Death, and Resurrection, and to simply experience the visual images to reflect on Christ's love for us.

St John will pray the Stations

I've mentioned before that music and singing are my favorite parts of the mass. Last weekend, Fr. Crispin encouraged us to spend most of our prayer time in praise and thanksgiving, before adding our petitions. Praise doesn't come easily to me. Is it an American culture thing, or just a problem with me? I don't know. As I was thinking about praise, the 10:30 choir sang one of my favorite communion meditations, the refrain from He's My Source, repeated Taizé style. Imagine tweaking the wording a bit, and singing this as a prayer of praise.
You're my source of light that shines in my darkness,
You're my source of living water that I need every day.
You're my sword and my shield, you're the fairest of ten thousand.
You're my bright morning star, my soon coming king, my risen Lord.
[repeat]
[Thanks to the 10:30 choir.]
If you have prayer nuggets you'd like to share with the parish, e
mail Bill Marty,
[email protected]
. Thanks!
