The audio book read by Denis McBride and broadcaster Julie Etchingham contains the full text of the book and is accompanied by an illustrated booklet, containing all the pictures.
Whether we walk in solitude or with others, this book translates the passion of Jesus into our own life and times. Through its rich array of scripture passages, paintings, poetry, prayers, photographs and reflections, The Stations of the Cross – then and now becomes a companion not only on our Lenten journey but throughout the year:suffering is not limited to one liturgical season. He contrasts the beauty and solemn simplicity of the more traditional Stations by artist Curd Lessig with modern images that challenge us to link Jesus’ story to the struggle of our everyday life. The stations follow Jesus on the Via Dolorosa the way of sorrows in Jerusalem, which is believed to be the actual path on which Jesus struggled. reflectively guides us along the way of the cross. The way of the cross is not confined to a lonely road in Jerusalem two thousand years ago:it is a busy highway winding through every village, town and city in our modern world.
