The 14 Stations of the Cross
On Tuesday my monthly faith group met and the subject of our discussion were the 14 Stations of the Cross.
On Tuesday my monthly faith group met and the subject of our discussion were the 14 Stations of the Cross.
These are pictures, sculptures or plaques that depict the journey of Jesus from the moment he is sentenced to death to His death on the cross.
They are in the same place in every Catholic
Church in the world.
They start at the front on the left side of the church and go from #1 to #7 then you walk across the back of the church to #8 and proceed down the right wall to #14.
When you stop in front of each plaque you genuflect and remain in front of the plaque, say the prayers prepared and stay as long as you feel inclined.
You literally walk the Way of the Cross with Jesus.
Only 3 minutes long.
The joys of the Lenten season are not always seen as joy but the joy of meditation is one that is very important to me leading to the Glorious celebration of Easter.
The joys of meditation and reflection are not the property of any one faith or philosophy.
It is universal.
It gives me much Joy to live in a country where one may meet and pray and meditate without fear of harm.
Having........Passion by TAZO filled with flowers, Orange peel, Orice root, Rose hips, Lemon grass and Red poppy.
In.......my pretty pink china tea cup.
Feeling............blessed by yesterday's faith group meeting experience.
Thinking........meditation is such a gift that we do not always appreciate. It seems hard at first and many of us are hesitant to delve into the habit of it but folks who do will attest to the benefits and peace it can bring.
"Plant the seed of meditation and reap the fruit of peace of mind."
