Why do we follow the Stations of the Cross?
The stations of the cross can remind us just how far Jesus went to save us, and what a miracle it truly is that He rose from the grave. Taking time to think, pray, and meditate at each station can help us intentionally spend time with Christ, thanking Him, praising Him, and learning about His sacrifice for us.
The important parts of the stations of the cross are not the ritual prayers, the placement of stations, or even what stations exactly are included. The most important part is remembering Jesus’ love, sacrifice, and forgiveness and drawing near to Him.
Soup supper during Lent is far more than just a meal.
“It is a way to remind people of what Lent is all about,” said John Maniccia, a member of the Knights of Columbus.
The season of Lent begins February 22 with Ash Wednesday and concludes Easter Sunday. Signifying the Biblical story of Jesus’ 40 days in the desert, in most Christian churches this season is a time of reverence and devotion.
Lenten suppers often consist of a vegetarian soup, bread and water in order to maintain the season's focus on abstinence, sacrifice and simplicity. Sharing this simple meal connects us to one another, and exemplifies how we are "One in the Spirit".
