\\u25fc\\ufe0eJourney Stations of the Cross: Sunday, March 21 \\u2013 Sunday, April 4 \\u25fc\\ufe0e

Our Stations of the Cross experience will take you on a journey following the footsteps of Christ, and will immerse us as a community in the biblical account of the last hours and days of Jesus' life. Take a few minutes each day to watch a short video and to respond and reflect. Connect with Jesus and prepare your heart as we head into Good Friday and Easter.

The following is the script from the video. You may also follow along using the downloadable reflection booklet.

\\u25fc\\ufe0e Station 3: Condemnation \\u25fc\\ufe0e
Jesus is Condemned by the Sanhedrin
Luke 22:66\\u201371

When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, gathered together, and they brought him to their council. They said, \\u201cIf you are the Messiah, tell us.\\u201d He replied, \\u201cIf I tell you, you will not believe; and if I question you, you will not answer. But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.\\u201d All of them asked, \\u201cAre you, then, the Son of God?\\u201d He said to them, \\u201cYou say that I am.\\u201d Then they said, \\u201cWhat further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!\\u201d

As you remember the condemnation in this story\\u2014which is really a confession, really a promise\\u2014that Jesus is the Son of God, take a moment to remember and reflect on the promise that you, too, are God\\u2019s child.

Whatever any other voice (your own or someone else\\u2019s) might tell you, this identity remains the deepest truth about you and about everyone else you will ever meet.

We\\u2019ll pray with our bodies now as a way of remembering this truth.

Breathe in deeply. Breathe out slowly. Place your hands on your lips. Say aloud: \\u201cWith these lips, I will speak God\\u2019s truth.\\u201d

Breathe in deeply. Breathe out slowly. Fold your hands together. Say aloud: \\u201cWith these hands, I will serve God\\u2019s world.\\u201d

Breathe in deeply. Breathe out slowly. Place your hands on your heart. Say aloud: \\u201cWith all I am, I will share God\\u2019s love.\\u201d

Breathe in deeply. Breathe out slowly. Place your hands on your head. Say aloud: \\u201cI will remember I am God\\u2019s own.\\u201d

Amen.
