Catholic Campus Ministry is providing a "Prayer Series" this spring semester to learn about different forms of prayer in the Catholic Church. 

This session, on March 30th at 12:30PM in VISER (located in the Library), we will be explaining and praying the Stations of the Cross.

Below are the other forms of prayer we will be leading in this Prayer Series:

March 20th, 8:45AM in East Campus 218: Liturgy of the Hours

April 4th, 3:30PM in VISER: Visio Divina

What are the Stations of the Cross?

The Stations of the Cross  is a series of fourteen moments from the day that Jesus Christ was crucified, starting with Station one: Jesus is condemned to death, all the way to Station fourteen: Jesus is laid in the tomb. They are commonly depicted with images in Churches or outdoors for people to view, reflect, and pray. Catholics can pray and reflect on these stations in many ways. One popular way, is praying The Way Of The Cross by St. Alphonsus Liguori, which is what we will do in this session- reflecting on each station and repeating various prayers dedicated to each station.

Not interested? Don't worry.

The Stations of the Cross is only one way to pray that many Catholics enjoy during Lent, so if you try it and it is not for you, don't worry. You can always check out the other "mini lessons" and sessions on some different forms of prayer in our Prayer Series if you are interested in learning about other ways you can strengthen your relationship with the Lord.
