Description

Though often thought of as a towering intellect and theologian, Cardinal Newman's writings reveal a man who possessed a simple devotion to Jesus and Mary. These powerful meditations on the Stations of the Cross, originally written for his parishioners in the Birmingham Oratory Church, can aid us with the simple and singular focus on Christ's passion and our own failings which contributed to it.Groups of prayers bookend the fourteen meditations which, though short enough to be read in a matter of minutes, can open up the mystery of Christ's passion and deepen the meaning of our Lenten journey.Canonized in 2019, St. John Henry Cardinal Newman has become a new jewel in the crown of the Church. The wisdom found in his writings rival the Church Doctor's and are a blessing to our contemporary world so bereft of Christ's presence. Here, Cardinal Newman takes our hand and leads us up the suffering path of Calvary, where the Crucified One awaits.

EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION
A s our world gets busier, less supernatural, and more complicated, Catholics need, more and more, to take just a small amount of time to focus on the supernatural, and with great simplicity. Thus, we have provided the text of St. John Henry Cardinal Newman’s Stations of the Cross , adapted from the book of his meditations.
Newman was a towering intellect, and is sometimes regarded as a man dealing exclusively in complicated philosophical matters. Yet, as his meditations reveal, he was above all things simple in his devotion and love of Jesus and Mary. They are a reflection of his practice of “meditating on Christian doctrine”, which he had developed from his scriptural meditations before his entrance into the Church.
These meditations on the Stations of the Cross were written for his parishioners in the Birmingham Oratory Church, who were far from erudite scholars. Their education was minimal, and their available time even less, and they loved Newman all the more for the simple and easy way in which he led them to deeper devotion.
Thus, in our time, these meditations can aid us with the simple and singular focus on Christ’s passion and our own failings which contributed to it. We have given them slight editing for modern English as well as having added additional prayers to round out the work. May all who avail themselves of these meditations draw grace from the deep meditation.

PRAYERS BEFORE THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS
ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love.
