Stations of the Cross in English and Spanish illustrated by Saint Pat's
School 4th Graders. You'll find materials on Reconciliation, an Examination
of Conscience and even a Credit Card to Heaven. Lenten regulations are
there too, along with a complete schedule of Services and Activities. Be
sure to visit our ON-LINE STATIONS OF THE CROSS. I've written them for
children and adults alike. They've been newly illustrated this year by the
4th Graders at our own Saint Patrick's School and are available in English
and Spanish as well.

"Jesus woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace! Be still!'
Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, 'Why are
you afraid? Have you still no faith?' And they were filled with great awe
and said to one another, 'Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea
obey him?'" ~Mark 4:39-41

We can withdraw in to the calm of communion with God. We can rest in that
calm and peace. When the soul finds its home of rest in God, then it is
that real life begins. Only when we are calm and serene can we do good
work. Emotional upsets can make us useless. Life in God brings calmness
and when we enter into that life, then we live as eternal beings. Calmness
is based on complete trust in God. Nothing in this world can separate us
from the love of God.

I pray that I may wear the world like a loose garment. I pray that I may
keep serene at the center of my being.
