The Collect: O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Virtual Stations of the Cross
Do you miss our annual cross walk? Would you like to pray the “stations of the cross?” Or, would you simply like a guided way to reflect on the Passion story? Here is a digital verison of the stations of the cross with short meditations for each station. I hope you find it meaningful as you pray during the Triduum.
