Story of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross for Children
Understanding the Stations of the Cross is central to the Catholic faith. This book gently tells the story of the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. From his humble birth to his glorious triumph over death, The Story of the Cross presents the life of Jesus in simple language that children can understand. Illustrations highlight the main points and show the love of Jesus in each step of His journey.
The Story of the Cross recounts each Station of the Cross and offers a brief explanation of what happens there. In addition, a short prayer, designed to help young readers relate the story to their own lives, accompanies each station. Through the story and the prayers, children can begin to understand and appreciate the love and courage of Jesus Christ as He fulfilled His Father's will and redeemed the world.
With a refined sense of style and sensitivity, author Mary Joslin and illustrator Gail Newey emphasize the necessity of trust, love, and forgiveness in the world. They show how good people step forward to aid those in need, and that faith in God can strengthen those who grow fearful and discouraged.
