Overview
An imaginative way to pray the Stations of the Cross every day of the year.
“As Jansen walks with us from station to station, he points us from pain toward love and hope, toward strength and endurance, toward transformation.” —Jessica Mesman Griffith, from the introduction
In Station to Station, Jansen uses the scriptural Way of the Cross to focus our minds and hearts on Jesus’ anguish and death. Walking through each station, we see the unique ways in which Jesus responded to suffering, and we are challenged to react similarly in our own struggles. Furthermore, through various Ignatian exercises, Jansen encourages us to imaginatively pray our way through the stations and to gradually respond more as Jesus would when we are weighed down by life’s burdens.
Whether you are bearing your own cross or helping someone else carry theirs, Station to Station will show you how Christ’s character in the midst of suffering can, with time and prayer, become your character too.
Editorial Reviews
Gary Jansen's Station to Station is more than a book about prayer. It is an experience of the best of it. First, Station to Station provides a model of prayer that will last long after this book itself is finished. But second, it opens up an entirely new understanding of the meaning of this ancient spiritual practice for spiritual development today. It draws the reader into the kind of prayer that makes the spiritual life both real and deep.
For centuries, Christians have been nourished by praying the Stations of the Cross. In Station to Station, Gary Jansen combines Ignatian meditation with Saint John Paul II's special biblical Way of the Cross. The result is a heart-wrenching look at the mystery of the suffering we all carry and an intimate journey to Calvary with Jesus. Jansen's gem of a book is filled with fresh, practical insights into what it really means to "take up your cross each day" and follow Jesus. If you're looking for something to read for Lent--or just something to read because you're hurting--then look no further. This book is for you.
Gary Jansen's spiritual writing is always heartfelt, accessible, and provocative. In his beautiful new book, he offers a deeply personal take on the scriptural Stations of the Cross, inviting a new generation of believers--through his stories, reflections and prayers--into this ancient devotion.
