Stations of the Cross

Have you considered doing Stations of the Cross for Lent at you jail service? One of our LBJ volunteers, Joe C., said that for Lent is doing the Stations of the Cross at his jail service, and it was well received. Then I got an email from Kevin Starrs with prayers for the Stations of the Cross written by an inmate, and given to him by Art C, another LBJ volunteer. The stations by the inmate are hand written, and reflect how the stations relate to the men in jail.

I decided it was worth a post to share the idea of doing stations at your Lenten services, and also share the stations written by the inmate. You can decide, of course, whether doing stations at your service makes sense for you and the men you’re serving, but it’s another idea to consider.

There are a lot of options for exactly how you could do the stations at your service. One is to use the prayers written by the inmate, which I include below. There are also free resources online. Joe C suggested the stations here.

The stations with prayers written by the inmate are below. If you would like a digital copy of the document, you can get it here.

Have a blessed Holy Week, and joyful Easter!
