Lent is a special season of preparation, a sign of how “creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God.” Here are some resources as you continue on your Lenten journey.
An Ecological Way of the Cross
The Way of the Cross can be traced to St. Francis of Assisi, who lived at a time when Christian pilgrims could not travel safely to the Holy Land. Francis brought the experience of the Holy Land home, as we bring the Way of the Cross home to our local place of natural beauty. Reflecting on the sufferings of Jesus at each station, we raise the Cross of Christ to remind us that our sister, Mother Earth—our common home—belongs to God, and we ask for strength and unity to care for God’s creation. Here’s a booklet that offers us a timely way of the cross which invites us to give new meaning and reflection on this traditional experience.
