Step by Step to Calvary: Praying Through the Stations of the Cross

by Angela M. Burrin

This beautiful book will help readers grasp the reality of Jesus' suffering along the Via Dolorosa--and bring them into a closer relationship with their Lord and Savior. Each of the traditional fourteen Stations of the Cross begins with a moving description of Jesus' passion. Other sections for each Station follow and include 'Jesus, Who Are You' which describes Jesus using a traditional title such as Emmanuel or the Good Shepherd, and 'Jesus, Show Me Your Face ' which describes one of his countless attributes, such as gentleness, humility, or obedience. Opportunities for repentance, healing, and intercessory prayer are also offered. Each of the Stations is depicted in full color by eighteenth-century Italian artist Giandomenico Tiepolo.

We journey step by step with our Savior to his Crucifixion in this devote meditation praying through the Stations of the Cross. Angela Burrin provides reflection for each Station and an opportunity for repentance, healing, and intercessory prayer at the end of each Station. Colorful artwork by eighteenth century Italian painter, Giandomenico Tiepolo, reverently depicts each Station. I procured this book from our parish library as a Holy Week devotional. This is a Word Among Us publication.

What a fabulous book! This was time well spent meditating through prayer on the Stations of the Cross. An excellent read during Lent to spur an examination of conscience and repentance.
