At the beginning of Lent Fr Adrian published a new set of prayers to accompany the Stations of the Cross. The idea sprang from the recent purchase of a new set of Stations of the Cross sculptures for Gidea Park parish. Fr Adrian says: “While in Rome for the Pontifical Biblical Commission I visited Serpone, a liturgical shop previously unknown to me near the Vatican, and saw the work of Italian sculptor Nico Venzo. The 15 Stations were excellent value and, after consultation in the parish, were purchased and dispatched by courier.”
Their arrival gave Fr Adrian the idea of publishing a new Stations of the Cross with a distinctive scriptural focus. These stations provide short passages of Scripture followed by prayer directed to the suffering Jesus and invitation to further prayer all interspersed with moments of silence. The Catholic Truth Society (CTS) has produced an attractive little booklet which contains photos of the Gidea Park stations and the accompanying texts.
