Stations of the Cross

For the season of Lent, we will be doing the Station of the Cross every Sunday at 9:30 am, proceeding the 10:00 am Holy Mass. The Stations of the Cross booklets will be available within the Church, on the table near the entrance, and will be said in Greek, however, please feel free to follow along in your own language.

Let us come together this Lent in a spirit of reparation, with prayer, fasting, penance, and alms giving, that this Lent may not only be to repair for our own sins and those of the whole world, but also to break the bonds of the sins and attachments that are keeping us from having a closer relationship with Jesus. Let us remember and contemplate the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord, that even though we may be in a state of suffering and anguish, we can trust that this suffering is necessary to purify our souls, and our Lord, in His infinite Love, is wanting to make us more perfect, and more like Himself. Therefore, let us not worry, complain or get upset about our own sufferings, let us be strengthened by the strength of our Lord as He endured His own most bitter pains, and just like how Christ resurrected after His most painful and sorrowful Passion, let us be hopeful that these pains are not an end in themselves, but the means for our sanctification, just as Jesus’ Passion was the means for the Salvation of all people. Never give up hope, even in the most difficult suffering, for our Lord embraced His Cross and kissed it, because He knew, it would bring new life to His children, just as our cross is meant to give death to our selves so that Christ may live within us.

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
