This devotion known as the Way of the Cross is drawn from our Christian tradition which is widely observed by pilgrims to Jerusalem. This is a contemporary offering of prayer at a series of places in that city traditionally associated with Jesus' passion and death. Accompanying the podcast is a PDF link bulletin illustrating contemporary line drawings of the 14 stations, linked on @St.C's website.

At each of the fourteen stations associated with Jesus' passion and death, Maria+ reads reflections that interweave scripture, tradition, and contemporary action we can take now to live out the Way of Love.  Accompanying the podcast is a PDF link bulletin illustrating contemporary line drawings of the 14 stations, linked on @St.C's website.

You are invited to light a candle... or three... as the evening's twilight settles into the darkness of night.  These evening prayers are there for you at any time you may be feeling the darkness surrounding you.

The Liturgy of the Palms readings and prayers have a new twist this year. You are invited to trim a branch from your own yard, one that you would wave for Jesus if he came by your place today. We'll also be doing a Blessing of our Hands... the palms of our hands... with your favorite lotion or oil.

St. Columba's Episcopal Church, Boothbay Harbor, Maine Celtic Evening Prayer Service for Sunday, March 29, 2020. 

As were all those who have gone before us, we too are comforted and calmed at this hour of twilight by candlelight, music and prayer. 

The Celtic tradition holds that we find God in Christ in our hearts, in each other, and in all Creation.  As always, we welcome all to join with us in these timeless prayers.

Come as you are, let down your burdens, and find your rest in Christ. God's expansive love is sweeping over you and all of Creation, moving ‘round and ‘round the world throughout all time and in all places.
