An Amazing Find in Salt Lake City, Utah

Shortly before leaving for my trip to Norway, I was approached by a leader of a women’s group at a local church. She attended one of my book presentations, bought the book, and read it. She asked if I would be interested in doing a Lenten retreat focusing on Mary’s perspective. She titled the retreat – A Lenten Journey through Mary’s Eyes! I loved the title and decided to accept the challenge. I wrote most of the retreat on the cruise in Norway and finalized the details with the leaders from this group when I returned.
The focus was Mary’s perspective on the Passion of Christ – a difficult journey for a mother to endure. Yet, we all know that she was not just any mother – she was and is the Mother of God and most importantly, she is our Mother, too.
To prepare for this retreat, I decided to review the Scriptural Stations of the Cross and the Sorrowful Mysteries of ALL the Rosaries.
If you’ve read my book, you know that there are different types of Rosaries and that each of these Rosaries have mysteries that focus on the life of Jesus and Mary. I also introduced in my book the Scriptural Stations of the Cross.
As I prepared for this retreat, I was reminded of my visit to a beautiful cathedral in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Cathedral of the Madeleine is a Catholic cathedral with a beautiful display of the Scriptural Stations of the Cross.
As we each journey through this Season of Lent, I’d like to share with you the pictures I took of each of the stations of the cross at the Cathedral in Salt Lake City. Next to the picture, I’ve listed the scripture that is related to each.
Lent is truly a season of renewal. May God continue to bless each of us as we draw closer to Him.
