Walking With Jesus
Living Stations Of The Cross

ST. JOSEPH R.C. CHURCH

Good Friday, April 3, 2015

7:30 PM

The Way of the Cross

Fr. Juniper J. Thomas will preside as youth and adults of our parish and school, our Deacons, our Lectors, and our Music Ministry lead the parish in praying an insightfully written Stations of the Cross, presented as a living portrait in our sanctuary.
We will begin by singing hymn #57,
Were You There.
A verse of #39, At the Cross Her Station Keeping (Stabat Mater Dolorosa) will be sung in English and in Latin before the first station and following each station.
At each station, the leader will make the invocation, “We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.”
All will respond, “Because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.”
The prayer service ends with the singing of Palestrina’s Adoramus Te by the choir and a reverent and silent veneration of the cross by all.
