Stations of the Cross
Catholic
This exercise of the Stations of the Cross Catholic helps us renew our remembrance of the sufferings which our Lord underwent on His journey from Pilate's praetorium, where He was condemned to death, to Mount Calvary, where for our salvation He died on the cross.
When you take your spiritual journey through the Stations of the Cross it is not just a
physical walk but a spiritual experience.
It will encourage you to reflect as pilgrims at our own lives and their relationship with God.
Stations of the Cross Catholic
This virtual walk will guide you through each station with detailed descriptions and reflections. The meditations encourage you to pause and reflect on the significance of each station. Some may not be able to go in person to see these beautiful creations, but I hope I have created a place that can be revisited from the comfort of your home.

The National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima I am so grateful for this shrine to be so close to home. The shrine is location or should I say nestled between farmlands. You can see Our Lady from the highway as you are approaching. She stands out as a beacon of strength and humility. The grounds of the National Blue Army Shrine are serine and peaceful. |

The village of Garabandal is also home to the Pines, a grove of nine pine trees that hold a special significance. Here the visionaries experienced many of their apparitions. |
