Stations of the Cross; the Way
On February 28, 2015
I really, really like the pictures of the Stations of the Cross in my church, Our Lady of Guadalupe in Topeka, Kansas. Yes, they’re getting cracked and very old looking, but they’re still beautiful to me. I hope it helps you to remember what our Lord suffered on his Way of the Cross, using “A […]
