The Stations of the Cross etch a story of pain and humiliation in
the life of Jesus. There are parallels closer to home as well as
across our world, be it in Ukraine, Nicaragua, Iraq or Pakistan
that are ‘twinned’ with Gethsemane and Golgotha. This book
invites us on a journey as we discern and dialogue for new horizons
of gospel service as a church on a Synod path. Â We are part
of a body that is greater than our own individual bodies. We have
hearts and souls. Through Baptism, the Eucharist, the shared
commitment of our resources, the living out of radical forgiveness,
the inclusive service of compassion to all and the willingness to
make sacrifices with the lowest, the least and the lost will lead
us to be called the ‘body of Christ.’ This book invites you to
consider, if as a church, we are part of the un-noticed, the
un-recognised and the forgotten that makes us feel their pain and
humiliation. This book helps us to discover the paschal (‘pass
over’) significance of the cross as a response to the suffering
that sears many lives today. Here we can embody the words of Jesus:
‘This is my body given for you.’   Â

       Through this
proclamation, we can call ourselves the Church. This book sees
Jesus as the guardian of the wounded and the tortured. It invites
us, like Simon of Cyrene and Veronica to embrace and caress the
open wounds that scar innocent lives. The Stations of the Cross
lead us, like the Centurion who pierces the side of Christ, to
recognise divinity at the heart of humanity.
