Stations of the Cross Blessed and Posted

Transfiguration Sunday
February 19, 2012

The Lord be with you

In our worship service today, we use the Rite of Blessing for Artwork to dedicate our Stations of the Cross. In spite of the dreary weather, after the service they were posted outside. (Thank you Bob, Scott, Boyce, Philip and Gregory for doing that.) Devotional booklets, keyed to our Stations, have been placed in our public literature box, which is next to our mailbox on Fernwood-Glendale Road.

These Stations are posted outside so that anyone may drop by and use them for reflection, meditation and prayer. The devotional booklets have additional biblical references and short prayers that reflect themes in the different stations. The booklets may be kept or returned to the literature box, as the individual desires. They will remain up until Easter.

Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Rickert

  1. Dear Pastor Rickert, I am so pleased to find another LCMS parish employing the moving and beautiful Stations of the Cross. We are about to acquire and install the first Stations in our 101 year history in San Diego. To God be the Glory.

  2. Hi Mark. Sorry it took me so long to notice your comment. I pray that your use of the Stations was blessed as you traveled the way of sorrows. Ours are a custom design which I developed for a D.Min. project.
