Stations of the Cross

About this episode

This episode features a reflection on The Stations of the Cross, inspired by Mel Gibson's film and includes meditations and quotes from spiritual writers.

For Holy Week, I'm posting a special episode on The Stations of the Cross. What follows is a Stations of the Cross text I wrote in 2004, reflecting on the images Mel Gibson provided in his movie The Passion of The Christ. Each mediation also includes a quote from one of my favorite spiritual writers. In the show notes, you'll find links to learn more about the Stations of the Cross, sources for the quotes used in the meditations, and a link to learn more about the album Via Cruci...
