Last night I talked a little about my experience of praying the Stations of the Cross with St. Faustina’s Way of the Cross.  I’d like to return to that for the Twelfth Station, “Jesus Dies Upon the Cross.” In the reflection of His death on the Cross, Jesus says to Sister Faustina: “All this is for the salvation of souls. Consider well, My daughter, what you are doing for their salvation.” 

Last Friday when the big storm was predicted to come through we went ahead and canceled Stations and Soup. This was unusual*, but since we don’t have a way to contact everyone, I came over and waited just in case people didn’t know and came anyway. (BTW, this is why we want everyone to sign up for our FlockNote contact system, so if you haven’t, please do! Anyway,) I put the books out for stations and left the lights on in case people wanted to pray the stations privately.

As we approach Holy Week, we are given another great healing story, the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Last week we heard of the man born blind being healed which had apparently never been done before, and this week, even more amazingly, a man is raised from the dead after 4 days.
