During Holy Week we have the opportunity to make a spiritual pilgrimage through the main scenes of Christ's passion, his suffering and death. As we pass from one station to the next, we recall the story of Christ condemned, his journey through the streets of Jerusalem to Golgotha and his crucifixion and death on the cross. As we meditate on the images and reflect on words of devotion, we may come to identify with his suffering and be drawn into a deeper understanding of God's love for us and our love for him.
What happened 2000 years ago in Jerusalem is currently been mirrored in many parts of the middle east, especially in Syria. Christ has shared in this suffering; he loved us so much he shared our humanity to the point of death. Through this darkness we can hopefully glimpse the transforming love of God. A God who became incarnate and dwelt amongst us, who shared our humanity so we might share his divinity.
Please join us as we journey towards Good Friday, at one or all of the following:
