The Seven Last Words
The Seven Last Words

Together as a faith community and family, we pray the Stations as a reminder of the great love God the father and Jesus, His son showed us. Through Him, we are able to love one another. (We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19)

Because we cannot gather as a larger faith family, consider traveling through the stations as you would in the church. Make posters or signs for each station and place them around your home or outside.
