Meditations By Abbey Professor Already Inspiring Thousands

“The Stations of the Cross pictured in this booklet grace the nave of the Abbey Basilica of Mary Help of Christians at Belmont Abbey in Belmont, North Carolina.

“They were designed and hand-crafted in 1896 by Francis Mayer and Company of Munich, the same company that crafted the Basilica’s magnificent painted windows.

“Down through the decades, countless people have lovingly meditated upon the scenes depicted in these Stations to help them deepen their relationship with Love Himself, Jesus Christ.

“May these Stations of the Cross and the meditations we have written to accompany them help you do the same.”

So begins the inspiring new booklet, Meditations on the Stations of the Cross, written this spring by Abbey theology professor Dr. Ron Thomas just in time for Lent.  And thanks to an aggressive online promotional effort led by the Abbey’s College Relations team, thousands of people across America have received their copy, and are using it to enrich their prayer life. (The booklet is designed for personal use at any time, in any season, not just during Lent.)

If you haven’t ordered a free copy ($4.95 for shipping and handling), we invite you to do so. It’s a wonderful way to make a spiritual pilgrimage to the Abbey – without having to leave home.
