CHRISTIAN ED - 2023

1. Henri Matisse and the Colors of Lent

The 40-day Season of Lent is a journey through color: from ashen gray to glorious purple, charcoal shadow to dazzling silver, deep crimson to the rainbow of petals in a springtime garden. The word “Lent” refers to the “lengthening” sunlight each day (in the Northern Hemisphere), shining down and drawing out the colors from the earth: the immersive, annual Easter poetry of creation. What better guide, then, to this colorful pageant than the artist Henri Matisse, celebrated above all as a master colorist.

2. The Lord's Prayer - from SSJE.org in 2023

For Lent 2023, the Brothers are delighted to share a special issue of Cowley Magazine, which dives deep into one of the treasures of the Christian tradition: the Lord’s Prayer. With a mix of reflections written by Brothers and meditation prompts for you to answer, this is a resource to deepen your own prayer life or to share in a group. We hope you’ll join us in reflecting on the prayer that Jesus taught, and experience firsthand its power to make us real. Click on the blue colored link for the prayer.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary.

Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in almost every church. Many explore the stations on Good Friday.

3 versions of the stations

1. VTS version - video and reflection guide

2. Mary Peterman - paintings

3. Creighton - Catholic version
