Walk with Jesus: Stations of the Cross

Walk with Jesus: Stations of the Cross

AUTHOR: Henri Nouwen

This book of meditations by Henri Nouwen, inspired by a series of drawings by Sr. Helen David, follows the traditional Stations of the Cross through the passion and suffering of the world's poor. 

Inspired by the drawings of Sister Helen David, Nouwen sees in these images the ongoing passion of Christ. Sr. Helen's drawings are stark and moving - a political prisoner behind bars, a peasant burdened by a load of wood, an abandoned child, a mother grieving for her murdered son, an exhausted farmer.

However, they do not lead to despair. Rather, they "help us unite our own broken humanity with the humanity of the men, women, and children portrayed . . . This union becomes possible through the suffering and risen body of Jesus. In and through Jesus, our world can become one because in this divine love he embraces all of us, and desire that we all be one as he and his father are one."
