Here’s another Living Stations script…this one from Sr. Marie who read my post about Living Stations scripts just after she got home from coordinating the Living Stations at her parish! Trooper that she is, she immediately sent this script along. Thanks Sr. Marie!
Easter
I Wish You A Blessed Holy Week
The other day, I drove past a Protestant church whose marquee read “He is Risen!” I joked with my wife that “they’re a week early!” And yet, of course, we know that Jesus is Risen. As we proceed through this Holy Week, we reflect on the suffering and death of Jesus through the lens of the Resurrection. We don’t pretend this week that we don’t know how the story ends. Good Friday is not a wake service for […]
Lent
Lent is Just Around the Corner – Living Stations, Anyone?
Lent is just around the corner (Ash Wednesday is February 25, 2009) and catechists are looking for lenten ideas and activities to mark the season. I have 2 very special plans for this blog: First, I am collecting scripts for the Living Stations of the Cross to make available to you through my blog. Many parishes involve their young people in the Living Stations of the Cross and write their own scripts that they develop […]
Lenten Activities
40 Ideas for 40 Days – Lenten Activities: Stations of the Cross Tableaus

This idea – Stations of the Cross Tableaus – is designed for those of us with very limited time and resources. Instead of organizing an entire production, organize the young people intro groups and have them prepare “tableaus” (a representation of a scene – […]
I liked the preparation prayer for all the participants! Definitely will be using that.
Thank you very much for the promotion to sisterhood. However, I am not a nun, but a mother of three teenage girls. Sister Mary Terese Donze, ASC is the one who wrote the “Step Up Close to Jesus” Stations of the Cross for Young People back in 1988. Then, somewhere along the line, a parish made it into a Living Stations of the Cross program. It is very moving because it encourages deeper reflection of each station and applying them to our lives today.
I actually got the script from my brother’s parish in Appleton, WI. The script is posted on the website for the Wisconsin Fox Valley Catholic Youth Minister Association at the following location:

**The one I sent to you was modified to fit our sanctuary and church setting. **
Well then I guess we’ll just refer to you as our sister in Christ!
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a copy of Sr Mary Terese Donze’s Step Up Close To Jesus (a child’s pamphlet describing the Stations of the Cross), as my son misplaced his copy and I would like to replace it for his teacher?
