The Stations of the Cross With Saint John Paul II

by Father Joseph Champlin, Grady Gunter (Illustrator)

On Good Friday 1991 in the Roman Colosseum, Pope John Paul II created new Stations of the Cross. He altered the fourteen traditional stations and added a fifteenth station on the Resurrection. All of the Stations His Holiness used were based on incidents in the Gospels. Father Champlin adapts these historic stations—with their richly biblical approach—by featuring a short passage from the Gospel Passion narratives, a brief reflection, and a response adapted from the Psalms, set as a motet.

This was the second time I’d read this little book of the Stations of the Cross, and I enjoyed it very much. I will very likely read it again in the future. Great scripture, great reflections & very concise, so easy to use for personal reflection. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed reading the stations of the cross because I wasn't able to go to church when they were having them and still felt apart of the service.
