Shadow Stations of the Cross

For the summer, we attend Mass at a small Church a few miles away from our seasonal campsite. This weekend, we had a Boy Scout camping trip near there. We attended Palm Sunday Mass there yesterday. While we were there, they made an announcement about the Masses for Holy Week. So, this Thursday, we will be attending a shadow Stations of the Cross and Mass in Currie instead of here at home.

Shadow Stations of the Cross is how I fell in love with the devotional. Christian was in second grade and we had just returned to the Church. We took every spiritual opportunity that came along. We soaked up the experiences. Very early on, one Wednesday evening the high school students put on a Stations of the Cross devotional. A large white sheet was on the altar. The lights went down in the Church and the white screen was illuminated from the rear. It was magical as the fourteen stations were acted out behind the screen. Since then, I have wanted to experience the Stations of the Cross the same way, but I haven't had the opportunity.

We had originally planned to do a Seder Meal Thursday, but we won't be able to work that in with the trip to Currie. We will save that for another day. I have found a menu plan and prayer service for that, but I will save that post, too.
