Stations of the Cross
The children of St. Augustine's and St. Mary's Cathedral School walked through "real-life" stations this Tuesday. Each station connected Jesus' journey with objects and places the students see every day.
 |
Station 1: Jesus is condemned to die. We walk to a tree reminding us of the tree used for Christ's crucifixion.
|
 |
Station 2: Jesus takes up His cross We walk to a cross and learn about the heaviness of a cross and our sins.
|
 |
Station 3: Jesus falls for the first time We stand on the ramp entering the school, remembering people who cannot walk. Jesus helps us carry our burdens. |
| Station 4: Jesus meets Mary, his Mother We gather around the playground where mothers play with their children. We think about Mary and Jesus. |
|
 |
Station 5: Simon helps Jesus carry his cross Being by the church helps us remember that we have a community to help us carry our burdens, just as Simon did for Jesus. |
 |
Station 6: Veronica wipes Jesus' face We stand by the baptismal font to remember that just as Jesus was refreshed by Veronica's touch, so are we refreshed by our baptism. |
 |
Station 7: Jesus falls a second time We look over the worksite by our school and see that it would hurt if we tripped and fell in the work zone. We think about Jesus falling. |
