Stations of the Cross Amid COVID-19
These stations are adapted from Kathleen Beckman, Catholic Exchange, March 20, 2020
The Stations of the Cross are a beautiful expression of our faith, which is that Jesus Christ is Emmanuel (Matt 1:23) -- God with us. In praying the Stations we accompany the Lord on His journey to Calvary. We watch him closely: how He suffers, falls, agonizes, perseveres, is strong in spirit even as His body weakens. We observe His valiant heart, loving eyes, beaten body. He is the Lord rejected and scorned. We accompany him all the way to Calvary. Why?
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.
Today [and always], Christ accompanies us on the path of human suffering. He identifies with His people who are bewildered, sad, and insecure. A cross has been placed across our lives. Overnight our lives have changed. The Lord draws nearer to us because He loves us, and wants to strengthen our resolve to imitate him in the way of sacrificial love.
R. Let us glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
V. In Him is our salvation, life, and resurrection.
