The Stations of the Light

Stations of the Resurrection for the New Millennium

Each Station of light begins with a familiar invocation and a short reading from the New Testament. A brief reflection follows, with a silent meditation and a prayer from the liturgy. Each station ends with a verse from a traditional Easter chant, "O Filii et Filiae." This format recalls the medieval pilgrimage sequence from the Liturgical Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows in song form, the "Stabat Matter" of the Via Crucis.

Introduction

All:	Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. O sons and daughters, let us sing! The King of heav'n the glorious King, O'er death today rose triumphing, Alleluia!
	Sign of the Cross
Reading:	'For we have grown into union with Christ through a death like His, we shall also be united with Him in the resurrection... If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall live with Him... Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as being dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus: (Romans 6:5, 7, 11).
Reflection:	Let us walk this pilgrimage of faith, the Via Lucis, as daughters and sons of the light and as witnesses of the Risen Lord. Let us meditate upon the resurrection of Christ and discover the pathway of light that Christ blazes through our lives.
