Stations of the Cross [Lovasik S.V.D., Reverend Lawrence G] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Stations of the Cross Review: An excellent prayer book and devotional aid for adults - I ordered STATIONS OF THE CROSS by Father Lovasik four times and got shrink packs of 10 booklets labeled with bright stickers saying, "Do Not Break Open" and "SOLD AS 1 ITEM DO NOT OPEN". Please, do not let a packing error distract from this truly great PRAYER BOOK and DEVOTIONAL AID. While Father Lovasik's STATIONS OF THE CROSS appears to have been written for elemetary aged children it is truly an excellent devotional manual for adults to use for making personal Stations of the Cross. Depending on the physical size of the church itself this prayer book of the Stations of the Cross can be used in 10 or 15 minutes to devoutly walk the Stations of the Cross and under the usual conditions gain a plenary indulgence for the poor souls. I try to use it daily and will give copies free to any one who will promise to use it regularly. Most of the many fine books for making the Stations of the Cross have long and involved prayers. The simplicity and straight forwardness of Father Lavasik's STATIONS OF THE CROSS lends itself perfectly to regular devotional use without the distractions that seem to come with the reading of long devotional prayers. Too many authors of prayers tend to forget the model of the perfect prayer, the "Our Father" has only fifty-six words. Father Lovasik's prayers both before and after the stations each are only seventy words in length. The prayers for each station are not much longer. The full page color illustration adjacent to the prayer for each station aid with the meditation necessary to fully feel the emotions connected with the stations as they are being walked within the church. The large, bold print is helpful for tired old eyes like mine. I feel that there are many souls in heaven thankful for the aid that this great prayer book and devotional aid gave some devoted individual who took the few minutes to devoutly walk the Stations of the Cross and say the additional prayers necessary to gain a plenary indulgence for a poor soul. Review: Happy customer - Very convenient to teach my Sunday class.

I’ve been using this for our annual Station of the Cross. Very good for the kids and seniors. The texts are big and the illustrations are really good. Thank you!

My two year old asks for this book every day though we have had to cut it down to Fridays in order to keep the other children engaged as well (we focus on other devotions throughout the week). It has been good for my spirit and formation as well as that of my kids. Cannot stress how much I love this book and how grateful I am for the quick catechesis. Thank you!!

I love love St. Joseph kids Books. Their pictures are always on point 👌 I had bought a lot of their books for my kids. The Missal Books are really helping my kids to concentrate in Church. As you can see in the pictures is not like "The Way of the Cross" description, is just a simplified station of the cross for Kids. I love it!
