Stations of the Cross for times of war and pandemic

This month sees the publication of a new set of reflections on the Stations of the Cross, incorporating writings from some of the great mystics of the Church, who wrote in times reminiscent of our own, when plague and wars ravaged Europe.

Anne Inman discovers two consistent features in the revelations of these medieval mystics as they contemplate the cross: they recognise in the figure of the suffering, human Jesus, the divine Person, who was present and active at the creation of the world; and they experience an overwhelming sense of the love of God, and the assurance that all will be well.

The Stations of the Cross, by Anne Inman is now available for purchase (£3.50) from Alive Publishing. See: https://alivepublishing.co.uk/catalogue, pages 4-5.
