A Light for my path provides a unique opportunity to pray the traditional fourteen Stations of the Cross by incorporating the Book of Psalms with the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ Passion and Death. Praying the psalms helps us to become more familiar with the prayer of Jesus and to be united with his suffering and Death. Pastoral reflections and original music are provided for each station for further participation and meditation. The illustrations depict an urban setting and are from Jesus’ perspective, helping us to experience the Cross through his eyes.
