WOMEN OF THE PASSION, A Journey to the Cross (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419657320)

Women of the Passion offers readers a unique Lenten encounter. Women from Scripture who were transformed by their encounters with Jesus narrate the story of Christ's Passion through the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross. Readers will experience the Passion through the eyes of such women as the widow with the mite, the woman with the flow of blood, the bent-over woman, the woman taken in adultery, and, of course, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Jesus. The book sets the stage with the anointing of Jesus by a woman, his denial by Peter as described by the High Priest's maid, and the dream of Pilate's wife. Then, Station by Station, readers accompany Jesus on his journey to the Cross. The book ends with Mary's wild grief over the loss of her son and the peace she finds as she places him in the tomb. Women of the Passion is perfect for Lenten retreats or as a Lenten program, especially during Holy Week. It is suitable for use by mixed groups of women and men, young and old.
