Every Step with Jesus: Following the Saints in the Way of the Cross

“We must keep the eye of faith fixed on Jesus Christ who climbs the hill of Calvary loaded with his cross, and as he toils painfully up the steep slope of Golgotha we should see him followed by an immense throng of souls carrying their own crosses and treading the same path. Oh, what a beautiful sight this is.”-St. Pio of Pietrelcina

As followers of Christ, we are among those souls walking the steep slope to Calvary with Jesus- to his death, but to our life. At each of the stations we are accompanied by a saint whose thoughts illuminate the way, revealing the light-filled moment behind the darkness of each moment. Saints include:

• St. John Paul II
• St. Thomas More
• St. Leo the Great Dame Julian of Norwich
• St. Faustina
• St. Cyril of Jerusalem
• St. Catherine of Siena
• St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
• St. Pio of Pietrlcina
• St. Bernard of Clairvaux
• St. Therese of Lisieux
• St. John Chrysostom
• St. Thomas Aquinas
• St. Augustine
• St. Teresa of Calcutta

Every Step with Jesus is a new and fruitful way to consider the Way of the Cross, not just in public display, but in our private meditation and reflection. Pray through one station per day or week. Choose a station to help you focus on a particular need or intention. Taking every step of every day with Jesus we become more like him, and become more able to take his light out into a darkened world.
