The Cosmic Christ

Walking the Stations of the Cross is an ancient Christian practice, especially undertaken as a prayer discipline during the season of Lent. This year’s experience may seem a little different and may be new to you. We invite you to experience the very ancient Christian tradition of Christ as the very first idea of God that permeates the entire universe. If you have ever stood in awe under a starry sky, been lifted by the fragrance of a rose or felt joy in the laughter of a child, you have experienced the permeating presence of the Christ in all that is.

These stations are based on the ancient metaphors of scripture that offer us ways we can understand the movement of God in this magnificent universe from galaxies to grasshoppers, through joys and sorrows, in life and in death. Saint Luke’s artist friends and our own artists have created visual images to go with each scripture. Saint Luke’s writers have prayerfully offered reflections for each image and scripture.

We invite you to walk the stations, entering into prayerful contemplation on the scripture, image and reflection. Walk all the stations or just a few. Linger with the images. Look deeply. Listen closely. Let yourself be moved by the Spirit of God. It is our hope that walking these Stations will enlighten and deepen your understanding and encounter with the Presence of the Cosmic Christ.
