Stations of the Cross @ UC

Some of the things that I love are meditative ritual and contemplation. I really love some of the practices of contemplation that the Catholic tradition practices. Another thing is trying to see Jesus in the mundane in everything that we do that it would be worship to God, that our lives would be lived in such a way that it were a fragrant offering to God.

For Lent I decided to set up Stations of the Cross at church. For more info here is a site:

I know that someone is probably reading this and thinking that I am wacked out for using something from the catholic faith(you know who you are). For me, I think that Jesus is so much bigger than theological debates and instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water, I think there is wisdom in finding value in things that christian fundamentalism sometimes overlooks because of piety.

Here is a picture of one of the stations that I set up:



Each of the stations takes you through the final steps leading up to Jesus death, with a scripture and a quote.

For space I will post the Stations text in another blog.

Blessings!
