Download or read book On the Via Dolorosa with Christ written by Paul Ciholas and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After two millennia, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ remain the foundation of Christian faith. No matter how often the story of Easter is told and how much it is explained, we are awed by the inscrutability of God's incarnation in Christ and find ourselves caught up in an event that transcends our understanding and surrounds us in a sea of divine love that belongs to the realm of mystery. These forty mediations invite the reader to reflect on Christ's walk on the Via Dolorosa, the path of suffering that a bruised and exhausted Jesus had to trudge from the place of his condemnation to the site of his crucifixion. It is a sobering journey. It is also a holy path toward God. With the author the reader can walk from sacred place to sacred place and feel the transforming power of the presence of Christ. In this pilgrimage we encounter a tormented Judas, a bewildered peter, a transformed Thomas, and two startled disciples on the road to Emmaus. The passion story leads believers and readers through the tragic disintegration of moral and spiritual claims to a fresh reaffirmation of the promise of transfiguration and resurrection.
Download or read book Via Dolorosa written by Martin Shannon and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on early Christian practice, pilgrims to Jerusalem reconstructed the events of Good Friday along the “Way of Suffering,” the Via Dolorosa. The Spanish nun, Egeria, writes of her own experience with this in her fourth century Holy Week journal. In the Middle Ages, the Franciscans and Dominicans particularly picked up on the ritual, and transported it from Jerusalem to chapels and churches outside the Holy Land. If one could not make the pilgrimage to the place of Jesus’s passion, then the “place” could be brought to the pilgrim . . . even in his or her own home town. Over the centuries, the Stations of the Cross spread across Europe and the British Isles. Eventually, fourteen stations were set, with accompanying books of readings and prayers to guide the Good Friday pilgrims as they walked the way with Christ—going “with him” as he bore his cross from the court of Pilate to the hill of Golgotha, from his judgment and condemnation to his death and deposition from the cross. Allow these scriptures, meditations, and prayers to accompany you as you walk and pray the Stations of the Cross with Christ.

Download or read book Waiting on God written by Wayne Stiles and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have all experienced a disconnect between God's promises to us and our everyday reality. We wait, without understanding why. We want to know God's plan so that we can trust it--but God so often hides his plan so that we will trust him. What can we do in the meantime as we are waiting for an answer, a change, or a miracle? With deep compassion, Wayne Stiles helps readers understand why God makes them wait. Unpacking the Old Testament story of Joseph, Stiles shows readers how to find comfort and opportunity in the time between God's promises and his answers, revealing the perspective-altering truth that sometimes when we think we are waiting on God, he is actually waiting on us. Anyone who has felt a disconnect between God's promises and their reality, who doesn't know what God wants them to do next, or who struggles with the brokenness of their world will find in Wayne Stiles a wise and trustworthy guide to finding peace in the pauses.

Download or read book The Via Dolorosa written by Randall Smith and published by Gcbi Publications. This book was released on 2015-02-04 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walking the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem can be a delightful feast for the senses. The sound of the bustling crowds, shouts of street vendors and the noise of children playing in the alleys can pull the pilgrim's attention away from the unusual mixture of the sacred and the mundane that are infused into the life of this city. There is no place where this mixture is more profound than the Via Dolorosa - a lively street where pilgrims and shoppers cross paths like to streams that flow, joining together and breaking apart again. Following the pathway of this stone-laden street this booklet can accompany your journey to offer insights into the history of each place, as well as help you understand the development of the whole experience. It is also helpful in recalling that journey when you have already experienced it. The booklet was based on the notes taken from Dr. Smith's guide instruction class for Israeli and Palestinian guides.
