SAINT J OHN N EUMANN R OMAN C ATHOLIC C HURCH

! Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

One of the most popular and beloved Lenten devotions in the Catholic Church is the praying of the “Stations of the Cross.” The “stations” are images depicting Jesus as He goes from His condemnation by Pontius Pilate to His crucifixion on Calvary and His burial in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. Praying the Stations helps us make a spiritual pilgrimage by contemplating the Lord’s Passion.

Various remarks by His Holiness Pope Francis provide many good reasons for engaging in this devotion, and I’d like to point to some of them here.

1. The Stations Allow Us to Place Our Trust in Jesus: “The Cross of Christ contains all the love of God; there we find his immeasurable mercy. This is a love in which we can place all our trust, in which we can believe…. let us entrust ourselves to Jesus, let us give ourselves over to him, because he never disappoints anyone! Only in Christ crucified and risen can we find salvation and redemption.” (Address, World Youth Day, Way of the Cross, 26 July 2013)

2. They Put Us into the Story: “And you, who do you want to be? Like Pilate? Like Simon? Like Mary? Jesus is look- ing at you now and is asking you: do you want to help me carry the Cross? Brothers and sisters, with all the strength of your youth, how will you respond to him?” (Ibid.)

3. They Remind Us That Jesus Suffers with Us: “The Cross of Christ bears the suffering and the sin of mankind, includ- ing our own. Jesus accepts all this with open arms, bearing on his shoulders our crosses and saying to us: ‘Have courage! You do not carry your cross alone! I carry it with you. I have overcome death and I have come to give you hope, to give you life’ (cf. John 3:16).” (Ibid.)

4. They Compel Us to Action: “But the Cross of Christ invites us also to allow ourselves to be smitten by his love, teaching us always to look upon others with mercy and tenderness, especially those who suffer, who are in need of help, who need a word or a concrete action.” (Ibid.)

5. They Helps Us Make a Decision for or Against Christ: “[The Cross] reveals a judgment, namely that God, in judging us, loves us. Let us remember this: God judges us by loving us. If I embrace his love then I am saved, if I refuse it, then I am condemned, not by him, but my own self, because God never condemns, he only loves and saves.” (Address, Good Friday, 29 March 2013)

6. They Reveal God’s Response to Evil in the World: “The Cross is the word through which God has responded to evil in the world. Sometimes it may seem as though God does not react to evil, as if he is silent. And yet, God has spoken, he has replied, and his answer is the Cross of Christ: a word which is love, mercy, forgiveness.” (Ibid.)

7. They Give Us the Certainty of God’s Love for Us: “What has the Cross given to those who have gazed upon it and to those who have touched it? What has the Cross left in each one of us? You see, it gives us a treasure that no one else can give: the certainty of the faithful love which God has for us.” (World Youth Day, see above)

8. They Guide Us from the Cross to the Resurrection: “O Jesus, guide us from the Cross to the resurrection and teach us that evil shall not have the last word, but love, mercy and forgiveness. O Christ, help us to exclaim again: ‘Yesterday I was crucified with Christ; today I am glorified with Him. Yesterday I died with Him, today I live with Him. Yesterday I was buried with Him, today I am raised with Him.’” (Address, Good Friday, 18 April 2014)

We pray the Stations of the Cross each Friday during Lent at 11:00 AM. Please know how welcome you are to come join us!

May God bless you always!

Rev. Joseph MPR Cocucci Pastor
