On this weeks podcast we take a Lenten prayer space and take listeners through the Stations of the Cross. The Stations are a very traditional Lenten observance associated especially with the Franciscans in the Holy Land who commemorate the Lords Passion and Death by walking the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. The objective of the stations is to help the Christian faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ.
The reflections used on this years recording of the Stations of the Cross are taken from the Cafod Stations 2024.
We have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends of the coming week and also reflect on the fact that today is Laetare Sunday.
We have our weekly reflection on the Sunday gosepl from John 3:14-21 with that great summary of faith - "God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life".
