Children Learn
to Pray, Stations of the Cross - children and their families walk with Jesus
by Lucille Perrotta Castro. "Stations are places where people wait while they
are going from one place to another. A school-bus stop is like a station. People
wait at train stations or bus stations or airports. Think of some stations where
you have been."
"Stations are also places where people take time to think about Jesus as he went
to die on a cross. They are "Stations of the Cross." They show us how much Jesus
loved us."
