American Eastern Catholics (Pastoral Spirituality)

The Way Of The Cross For Mothers is a modern interpretation of the Via Crucis that links the sufferings of Jesus on the way to Calvary to the everyday challenges of family life encountered by today's Christian woman. Its purpose is to help mothers, through reflection, to realize their roles as an image of Jesus' love and a transmitter of his message to their families, and to see the potential for the sacred in everyday activities. The prayers and reflections are designed to help mothers understand that the frustrations, insecurities, and fears often encountered in modern parenting can be opportunities for spiritual growth and self-awareness. An opening prayer gently guides the reader to her spiritual center. Each station includes a reflection on the agony of Jesus and its relationship to a mother's own personal and spiritual journey. This is an essential companion for Lenten use, a personal retreat or group prayer meetings. A timeless gem, it is much needed prayer resource for use throughout the year.
