We invite you to join us in worship by making an act of spiritual communion.

The devotion known as the Stations of the Cross, sometimes known as the Way of the Cross, is an adaptation to local usage of a custom widely observed by pilgrims to Jerusalem: the offering of prayer at a series of places in that city traditionally associated with our Lord’s passion and death.

The number of stations, which at first varied widely, finally became fixed at fourteen. Of these, eight are based directly on events recorded in the Gospels. This form is taken, and adapted, from The Book of Occasional Services 2003 of the Episcopal Church. We are grateful to Fr. Stephen Gerth and the people of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Time Square, for allowing us to use their booklet to create our own.

My Jesus,
I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
Carl Turner, Celebrant
