NEW!
The Way of the Cross for Children
by Christopher Walker and Paule Freeburg, DC
Illustrated by Jean Germano
2004 UNITY
AWARD: Children's Music Album of the Year
Praying the
Stations of the Cross is an especially powerful way to enter into the
meaning of Christ's Passion. This longstanding Lenten devotion involves both
our imagination and emotions. It helps us appreciate Christ's sacrifice,
relating it to the struggles in our own lives. Of course, children need this
as well as adults.
Known for their
popular Stories and Songs of Jesus series, Christopher and Sister
Paule have collaborated once again to create The Way of the Cross for
Children. Based on Scripture, this new resource offers responses, Bible
readings, reflections, artwork and songs for each of the 14 stations, all in
a format that's easy for children to follow.
Children may be
involved not only in the singing but also in the Scripture readings, with a
teacher or catechist leading the reflections. An optional "Resurrection"
station is provided, which may be performed with the other stations or done
on its own after Easter. The songs, all composed by Christopher Walker,
include guitar and keyboard accompaniment parts, available in the Leader's
Guide. The CD can serve as a helpful learning tool or for background
accompaniment.
The Children's
Book features spectacular, full-color artwork for each station, giving you
the flexibility of leading the devotion in the classroom, at home or in
church.
Laminated posters
featuring each of the 14 stations (and one displaying all 14) can be placed
around the classroom. The posters can also serve as placards to be held by
children during the Stations of the Cross. Bookmarks with the same artwork
will also be available.
A complete,
one-of-a-kind resource — gives you everything you need to lead children in
this devotion
Includes music for
veneration of the cross on Good Friday (songbook only) and music for
processing from one station to another
Designed for
children in grades K-8

Benedict XVI: Way of the
Cross
Pray through the mystery of salvation with our new
pope, Benedict XVI! Experience for yourself the Way of
the Cross that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger—now Pope Benedict XVI—wrote for
this time-honored devotion held on Good Friday at Rome’s Colosseum.
Curiosity regarding Benedict’s spiritual
writings has sparked worldwide interest in these meditations and prayers
that highlight the new pope’s personal prayer life, as well as his
vision for the future of the Church.
Designed to be a companion to best-selling
John Paul II: A Marian Treasury, the two titles together make a
perfect “Papal Gift Set,” to celebrate the papal legacy of John Paul II
and the new papacy of Benedict XVI.
Beautifully illustrated with 14 full-color
art pieces by Dutch Symbolist painter Jan Toorop from the Church of
Saints Peter and Paul, Netherlands.
“Grant that my Way of the Cross may not be
just a moment of passing piety. Free us from the fear of the Cross, from
the fear of mockery, from the fear that our life may escape our grasp
unless we cling possessively to everything it has to offer. Help us not
to take life, but to give it.”
— Benedict XVI, Way of the Cross

PRAYING
THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS WITH MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS
"I am the
handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me as you say." Those words, some of
the very few that Mary speaks in Scripture, set in motion the process of our
redemption. Those words also opened for Mary a life which she could never
have imagined, one which must have certainly been blest with happiness, as
well as great sorrow. Simeon told Mary at the very beginning of her Child's
life that "a sword of sorrow" would pierce her heart. With so little written
about Mary in Scripture, one can only wonder about these joys and sorrows.
What was it like for the one person who was perhaps closer to Jesus than
anyone else as she daily came to understand her Son's life? What can we
learn from her experience of this process of redemption? This book attempts
to enkindle within the reader a sense of both prayerful repentance and
grateful redemption as it lets him or her walk Jesus' last steps with His
Mother. To feel with her the "sword of sorrow," the confusion, the feelings
of helplessness, as well as her ever-present faith, will hopefully lead the
reader to a personal experience of redemption, one which may bring about
conversion where it is needed. Hence, the second part of each station is
designed to point out a practical way of rooting out of one's life those
areas which one has not yet allowed redemption to touch. Mary stood by her
Son throughout His passion and, in her faith, experienced the joy of His
resurrection. This booklet allows the 20th century Christian to do the same
in hope that he or she will, with Mary's assistance, deepen his or her faith
and allow Jesus to rise once more in his or her life.
