Stations of the Cross 2024

It was such a beautiful day to have the Stations of the Cross to deepen our faith in Jesus. It was a sad moment that we had to go through. 

 

For the Eighth Station, I had to weep for Jesus as a woman of Jerusalem would’ve wept for him when he experienced pain but tried to comfort us. Grief was in my mind as I watched what Jesus experienced while carrying a heavy cross with a weak body. 

 

At the end although we went through a tough time during the Stations of the Cross we know how much Jesus loves us, as we all see him die. 

 

Daniel sang ‘Were You There’ beautifully as each class began to walk back to their rooms quietly.
