  • Appendix 5 — Stations of the Cross
    Appendix 5 — Stations of the Cross Appendix 5 — Stations of the Cross Praying the Stations of the Cross (or “Way of the Cross”) is a popular devotion among Catholics. Praying the stations may be done at any time of the liturgical year, but it is most fitting during Lent, when we focus on the reality of what Jesus did for us and prepare to celebrate his resurrection at Easter. The stations involve a series of prayers and meditations on the suffering and death of Jesus. The person praying the Stations of the Cross moves, figuratively, through fourteen scenes that depict events in Jesus’ Passion on the Friday of his crucifixion. These fourteen scenes are generally depicted on the walls of Catholic churches in the form of artwork, which may be paintings or various forms of sculpture or simply fourteen crosses. They are often numbered with Roman numerals. You will also encounter Stations of the Cross out-of-doors at retreat centers and sometimes along the driveway or pathway into a shrine. The minimum, essential thing to properly practice this devotion (when you “do the Stations”), is to (1) name and contemplate the scene at each station, and (2) pray a brief, heartfelt prayer. It is also common but not critical to sing one verse of Stabat Mater Dolorósa (“At the Cross Her Station Keeping”) while moving from one station to the next. The traditional fourteen stations are: 1. Jesus is condemned to death 8. Jesus speaks to the women of Jerusalem 2. Jesus takes up his Cross 9. Jesus falls the third time 3.

  • SAINT ALPHONSUS LIGUORI CATHOLIC CHURCH STATIONS of the CROSS
    SAINT ALPHONSUS LIGUORI CATHOLIC CHURCH STATIONS of the CROSS Why do we pray the Stations of the Cross? The Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) is a devotion, particularly appropriate during Lent, by which we meditate upon the final earthly journey of Christ. Jerusalem is the city of the historical Way of the Cross. In the Middle Ages the attraction of the holy places of the Lord's Passion caused some pilgrims to reproduce them in their own city. There is also an historical devotion to the “dolorous journey of Christ” which consisted of journeying from one church to another in memory of Christ's Passion. This last stage of Christ's journey is unspeakably hard and painful, but He completed it out of love for the Father and for humanity. As we pray the Stations of the Cross, we are reminded of our own journey towards heaven. We may also meditate upon the demands of following Christ, which include carrying our own “crosses.” Adapted from Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy #131-133 What is a Plenary Indulgence? The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines an indulgence as “a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven...” Obtaining an indulgence requires prescribed conditions (i.e. being in a state of grace) and prescribed works (see below). "An indulgence is partial or plenary as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin." We can gain indulgences for ourselves or for the dead. CCC #1471 “To acquire a plenary indulgence it is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill the following three conditions [within several days]: sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff.

  • Walking the Walk (Of the Stations of the Cross) by Carmen Acevedo Butcher
    © 2013 The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University 55 Walking the Walk (of the Stations of the Cross) BY CARMEN ACEVEDO BUTCHER Walking the stations of the cross—a devotional path of reflection and repentance based on events in the passion and resurrection of Christ—is being adapted in creative ways today. How did this form of spiritual pilgrimage originate and why is it important for our discipleship? nglo-Saxons knew winters so bitter that writers reckoned years by their island’s mettle-testing season: the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle declares Aone king “fifty winters old,” the Beowulf poet writes that Grendel terrorized Hrothgar’s kingdom for “twelve winters,” a 1000 A.D. English translator of the Gospel of John describes the temple as built in “forty-six winters” (John 2:20), and the Old English poem “The Wanderer” says that no one becomes wise before experiencing “a deal of winters in this world.”1 Even a twenty-first-century December with central heating can seem forever. By January, eyes scan the cold, lifeless soil for tightly folded purple crocuses waiting to open into spring’s promise, just as souls numb with anxiety and dark from pain crave the pilgrimage toward eternal light and hope. During Lent, Christians express such yearnings by walking the stations of the cross alone or in groups, on Lenten Fridays, on Good Friday, and at other times during Holy Week. Many walk the stations regularly through the year. This ancient devotional exercise commemorating the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is also called the “way of the cross” (Via Crucis) and the “way of sorrow” (Via Dolorosa).

  • VIA Lucis, the Way of Light Stations of the Resurrection
    VIA Lucis, The Way of Light Stations of the Resurrection Piety in the Life of the Church One of the goals of Jubilee 2000 has been a better appreciation of traditional Catholic devotions and the development of new expressions of our popular faith, which reflect the vision and theology that emerged from the Second Vatican Council. The Latin American Bishops Conference in 1979 described the value of such devotions: "At its core the piety of the people is a storehouse of values that offers answers of Christian wisdom to the great questions of life. The catholic wisdom of the people is capable of fashioning a vital synthesis.... It creatively combines the divine and the human, Christ and Mary, spirit and body, communion and institution, person and community, faith and homeland, intelligence and emotion.” The essential criterion of popular piety is that it extends, but does not replace, the liturgical life of the Church. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council teaches that devotions "should be so drawn up that they harmonize with the liturgical seasons, accord with the sacred liturgy, are in some way derived from it and lead people to it" (Sacrosanctum Concilium §13.3). Examples of this principle were the liturgical reforms of Vatican Council II which restored the "Paschal Triduum of the Passion and Resurrection of Christ" as the culmination of the entire liturgical year. The "Three Days" begin with the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday and close with evening prayer on Easter Sunday night. Prayer—ritual—sacrifice—commemoration--welcome—celebration--mark this intense period with great fervor among the people.
