Living Stations of the Cross – Scripts

Joe Paprocki Stations of the Cross

I’ve put out a request for scripts/outlines for the Living Stations of the Cross for Lent and so far have received 3 samples. Thanks! I’m only passing along 2 of them at the moment, as the third was not really a living stations. Remember, if you have a script or outline for the Living Stations of the Cross, please attach it (as a Word file or PDF) to an email and send it to me at paprocki@loyolapress.com.

ALSO, I’m thrilled that my Lenten FAQ video has been so well received! It already has nearly a coupla-hundred hits on YouTube and my blog had a record high for visits yesterday!  I’ve also received numerous emails telling me that folks plan on forwarding it to their catechists or are printing out the script to distribute or publish in a newsletter or bulletin.

"What’s That on Your Forehead?"—Helping Kids Explain Ash Wednesday

Joe Paprocki Lent

A catechist e-mailed me with the following question about helping children to be able to explain why they are wearing ashes on their foreheads on Ash Wednesday: Do you have anything in print or an article you know of for kids to help explain why they wear ashes on their forehead on Ash Wednesday to their classmates at the public schools? I know the reasons and such but from an elementary child’s perspective would help. […]

40 Ideas for 40 Days: A Declaration of DEpendence

Joe Paprocki Creative Moments, Lent, Lenten Activities, Newsworthy

Lent is a time for us to declare our independence from sins that have been impinging on our freedom and to declare our DEpendence on God! Prepare your own “parchment” to use as a Declaration of DEpendence. Here is a picture of one I prepared next to a replica of the real thing.  Any sheet of white newsprint will do. The thinner the paper, the better. I like to use a sheet from an easel […]

  4. I was surfing the internet looking for suitable scripts for the Passion Play, that my parish priest has requested our team to put together for this year – 2011, GOOD FRIDAY services, and I stumbled upon your site. THANK YOU VERY MUCH …GOD BLESS +

  5. We adapted the script to Spanish for our parish. We were able to present the living stations of the cross last year and it truly was a moving experience, not only for those in attendance, but for those bringing to life His Passion. Even though it had been rehearsed time after time, to truly live each moment that evening for our parish community was a true blessing and great moment of reflection/prayer. I am so glad I found this when searching for a script! God bless!

  6. Joe, the living stations of the cross scripts are wonderful. Can I order multiple copies for each student. Thank you

    • Damaris, you can use those as you see fit. There is nothing to order…I’m simply making them available for general use.

  7. Hi Joe,
    I’m the lead lady of a Youth Group in my church. I’m planing to do the Living Stations of the Cross at one of our camp. I was grateful when I found this. I love the songs and the format that was in this script. Thank you.

  8. Good Morning
    Is there any way that I can get a printable versions of the living stations. Our school will be doing them on Holy Thursday and I have never been in charge before. I NEED HELP

    • Hi Kathleen and thanks for your question. Unfortunately, I know of no other versions available than what I offer in the post. Your best bet is to use these to create your own version and then print them for local use. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
