Jesus freely accepted the crucifixion - the Commander of Angels consented to sentence by death |
DURING THIS HOLY WEEK LET US SPEND TIME IN DEVOTION, PRAYER AND FASTING IN HONOUR OF THE LIFE, SACRIFICE AND SUFFERING OF JESUS CHRIST.
Why not pray the Stations of the Cross from the luminous Shrine of St Jude?
The Stations of the Cross are prayerful devotion exercises based on the Gospels.
They remember in prayer and gratitude the sufferings of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as He took the results of our turning away from God in the Garden of Eden on His Shoulders.
We follow the grim reality of the toll His generous reparation for our sinful pact with Satan against God took upon Him.
And we remember the personal ways in which we make mistakes and fall short of the honour of the Divinity within us as earthly daughters and sons of God, and make decision to work on our shortcomings to become better people.
The Stations of the Cross are a wonderful way to connect in meditation with the most wonderful Friend we can ever have - Jesus our Brother, our Love, our Honoured Son of God.
To pray the Stations of the Cross, there are many wonderful Resources;
