Through his words and original art, Edward Hays challenges us to embrace our baptismal call to help reconcile the world to God in The Pilgrimage Way of the Cross: Stations on Our Baptismal Journey. By adding six stations to the traditional fourteen, Hays recalls the baptism of Jesus, the commissioning of the disciples, and the ascension of Jesus (among others) to emphasize our baptismal journey toward a more just and compassionate world. Twenty original drawings by the author introduce each of the Stations of the Cross and invite spiritual reflection on the mandates of our baptized life in Christ.

The Pilgrimage Way of the Cross: Stations on Our Baptismal Journey is written for use by groups and is ideal for large or small parish groups and any community serious about spiritual renewal and the social mission of the church. Use the words and images to tie together all parish activities during Lent from homilies to meetings to outreach programs.

The Pilgrimage Way of the Cross also offers three other tools to help unify your community through Lent:

Prayer Cards -- offer a beautiful prayer reminding us to "take up our cross..." as we travel faithfully along our own journey.

Downloadable Cover Art -- offers you the opportunity to enhance all your parish's printed materials with the Lenten theme.

Promotional Posters -- allow you to publicize the theme in the church vestibule, parish hall or formation center (One free poster with every ten booklets purchased.)
