This Lent, plug in and meditate on the Stations of the Cross with a series of weekly audio reflections that help you link the divine with your daily life.
How might Jesus’ final hours feel different when juxtaposed with a walk in the neighborhood, or in a quiet corner at home, or while driving to pick up take-out? Pause a few times a week for scripture, prayers, and music for Lent.
