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 8: Jesus speaks to the women of Jerusalem
We stand just outside the kitchen as our cooks clean up. We think
about how the cooks help us just like the women of Jerusalem were
comforted by Jesus.
|
 |
Station 9: Jesus falls a third time We look at
a rosary's crucifix. We think about our prayer and Jesus prayer
as God helped him with his struggles.
|
 |
Station 10: Jesus' clothes are torn off We
stand under the flagpole and think about how the flapping flag looks
like clothes being torn off. We think about how we can help
others without food or clothes. |
 |
Station 11: Jesus is nailed to the cross
We gather around the nurse's station to remember all the people who
have been hurt. We think of Jesus hurting as he was nailed o the
cross. |
 |
Station 12: Jesus dies
We look at a list of people who have died this year. We remember
them and that life always ends in death. |
 |
Station 13: Jesus is taken down from the cross
We notice the bare branches of a tree. We know that even though
it looks dead, it will show life in the Spring. |
|
|
Station 14: Jesus is buried We come to the
altar, as a sign of reverence for the sacrifice that Jesus has given
us. We kneel in thanksgiving in hopes and dreams of eternal life. |
