3 Crosses

the web of the cross


For centuries, the stations of the cross have helped Christian people think about the mystery of the suffering and death of Jesus in an intimate way. Sometimes communities and individuals have taken to the streets, pausing at hospitals, gaols, hostels, courthouses, war memorials, cemeteries and refuges to ponder the ways in which Jesus continues to suffer in the midst of us.

This Lent, we have taken that idea a step further. You can sit at your keyboard and visit fourteen web sites. At each site, you may care to pause for a moment to consider the human face of suffering and wonder again at the improbable way God has chosen to save us: by sharing that suffering. Of course, the sites we have listed are just suggestions. Often they will lead you on to other places.
