If the Stations of the Cross is the movie, our text and music are the soundtrack. When we were asked to create a Stations of the Cross experience which would appeal to the Teen Community, we felt that we needed a few elements to be successful:
(1) full active participation of the teen community - as musicians, singers and lectors
(2) powerful text that will speak to relevant modern day concerns
(3) musical selections with the emotion and meditation of each station
(4) digital images and video footage that highlight the entire experience
(5) active participation from the adults who support the teen community
While the Passion has been depicted in artwork, music, plays and movies, the ritual devotion of the Stations of the Cross is a significant and prayerful way to enter the mystery of Christ's Passion. We have refined our Teen Stations of the Cross over the last 16 years to immerse the congregation in the experience and provide insight into Christ's suffering and sacrifice.
Bob will continue to post on this subject over the next few weeks. The Teen Stations of the Cross will take place on Friday, April 3rd 2009 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
