Family Faith sharing reflections on the 14 Stations of the Resurrection

The Easter Stations of Resurrection
To celebrate this season of Easter, we will pray the Stations of the Resurrection together. These stations, also called the Via Lucis (Way of Light), are similar to the Lenten Stations of the Cross in that they also follow the footsteps of Christ. The big difference, though, is that the Stations of the Resurrection trace Jesus' journey from his resurrection to the feast of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descends upon Mary and the apostles in the Upper Room. 

In 2001, the Vatican commended the practice of the Via Lucis by saying "Through the  Via Lucis, the faithful recall the central event of the faith – the resurrection of Christ – and their discipleship in virtue of Baptism, the paschal sacrament by which they have passed from the darkness of sin to the bright radiance of the light of grace.  Using the metaphor of a journey, the  Via Lucis moves from the experience of suffering, which in God's plan is part of life, to the hope of arriving at man's true end: liberation, joy and peace which are essentially paschal values."

There are 14 Stations of the Resurrection, and we will pray and post one station each day, for 14 days. We have invited catechists from our different RE programs to reflect on each station. We invite you to comment on the stations, as well!
