Where Joy & Sorrow Meet: A Way of the Cross

Where Joy & Sorrow Meet: A Way of the Cross

Nicholas Ayo
0/5 ( ratings)

Nicholas Ayo James Flanigan Joseph Ross J. Massyngbaerde Ford "If you would be my disciple," said Jesus, "Take up your cross and follow me." This is the call that comes to believers; this is the heart of the Christian life. No spiritual practice answers this call as concretely as the ancient devotion of the stations of the Cross. Through the centuries, as believers have walked with Jesus through his trial, his suffering, and his death, they have experienced anew the power of the gospel story. In this treatment of the stations, the authors allow a new generation of believers to re-live this drama, bringing to light profound spiritual meaning as well as unexpected implications for contemporary life. Combining historical background with keen awareness of the human drama of the moment, Where Joy and Sorrow Meet truly allows readers to experience for themselves this painful yet transforming journey. Each of the fifteen stations is addressed in a separate chapter, through meditation, art, poetry, and prayer. As they make their way from one station to the next, readers will feel the kinship with those who have gone before. At the same time, they must be ready for the way in which this vivid encounter with Jesus will touch their own lives.
