Loving Hands

Dearest Fellow Seekers,  This week The Prayer Path brings you week 3 of our 7 weekly lenten prayer journeys which, using the stations of the cross as signposts on the way, will guide you along the pilgrim path that Jesus took to Easter joy, The Calvary Way. We will be helping you imagine the scenes from the unique viewpoint of someone who encountered Jesus, loving, healing and forgiving ministry in their lives, and we imagine is now following him closely as he takes his passion journey, the woman judged to be in adultery. At this crisis time for our planet, when we all need to play our part in supporting each other in any loving way we can, it seems all the more apt that this week we encounter Jesus at the 5th Station, where Simon of Cyrene is engaged to help Jesus with his cross, and at the 6th where Veronica, who many believe was the woman judged to be in adultery, lovingly offers Jesus a towel to wipe His face.  A BIG thank you to Vincent Sherlock for allowing me to use his wonderful book.  ' The Stations of The Cross'.  Vincent has his own blog site that contains some lovely thoughts, reflections and prayers. https://sherlockshome.ie/   Thanks to @saltofthesound for allowing me use their wonderful music. Find more at https://saltofthesound.bandcamp.com/   Last but not least thank you to my beautiful daughter Niamh for adding her voice to this as both the woman judged to be in adultery and as part of 'Little Islands' a Canadian grown band with musicians from Kildare and Derry in Ireland and Novascotia.   Have a Peaceful Journey   John Sponsorships #ThePrayerPath
