Our Sorrow, Our Hope As we contemplate the Lord’s sacrificial love, the Church’s beautiful and powerful devotion of the Stations of the Cross stands as a fitting response to the departure of loved ones from the Faith. The Stations allow us to take our concerns, heartache, and intercession before God the Father in the saving work of Jesus Christ. Each of us is able to walk with the Lord as he carries his Cross and to offer supplication for our loved ones. As the Lord Jesus affectionately desires the salvation of all, so we are to unite ourselves with him in making supplication for our loved ones. Through the fourteen Stations of the Cross, we are able to intercede for our loved ones and spiritually carry the Cross with the Lord Jesus for their conversion back to fellowship with God and the Church. A Fitting Devotion As believers, we are not helpless. The Lord provides his grace, and the Church promotes the devotion of the Stations of the Cross for our benefit. It is fitting for us, therefore, to use this devotion for the swift return of our loved ones to the practice of the Faith.
