Stations of the Cross

Pray the passion of our lord

Fridays are a special day of prayer and remembrance of the Passion of our Lord, Jesus Christ. St. John's has many ways for you to enter into prayer and worship.

Every Friday during Lent, at 6:00 pm, we will pray the Way of the Cross, an ancient devotion leading us in the footprints of Christ. Together we will meditate on the passion, suffering, and death of our Lord.

Examination of Conscience, Explained
In Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, the apostle writes that it is imperative for a Christian to reflect on his conscience before he partakes of Holy Eucharist: “Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup” (1 Corinthians 11:28). The practice of examining one’s conscience before seeking the Sacrament of Reconciliation thus dates to the very beginning of the Christian faith and was encouraged as a regular practice by many saints and founders of religious orders as a means of growing in virtue.

An examination of conscience, when it relates to the sacrament, simply means reflecting on one’s actions (and particularly the intentions behind those actions) since the penitent’s last absolution, making note of lapses in judgment that should be confessed. A good basis for this reflection can be the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes and the seven deadly sins.
