DEVOTIONAL GUIDE: What is it? What's included?
This devotional guide helps facilitate conversation and is meant to accompany our Stations of the Cross Coloring Posters or Stations of the Cross Coloring Pages. However, it may also be used independently.

Who is it for?
The devotional guide includes reflections and discussion questions for both children and adults. Many churches will use this resource for intergenerational Lenten programming. However, it can also be used with Adult Education classes, youth groups, and college ministries and is particularly effective when used along with the coloring posters and pages.

Our Stations of the Cross Devotional Guide includes fifteen devotions and is meant to be used intergenerationally.

This devotional guide walks you through all fifteen of the scriptural Stations of the Cross with meaningful reflections for all ages.

The reflections and questions are designed for all ages to go through together but can be easily adapted for any mix of ages.

What’s Included?

Each of the fifteen devotions includes the following:

  • A prompt with the scripture listed for each station
  • A reflection that is geared toward youth and adults
  • A short reflection on the scripture for children
  • Questions for children
  • A "Going Deeper" section with questions for all ages
What You'll Receive

Upon your purchase, you will receive a downloadable PDF of the Stations of the Cross Devotional Guide that you can print out.

Note: The illustrations in the Devotional Guide are meant as a reference to what illustration the devotion goes with. They are not meant to be large enough to color. We encourage you to purchase our Stations of the Cross Coloring Posters or the Stations of the Cross Coloring Pages for that purpose.

How is this different from the Stations of the Cross Interactive Reflection Booklet? Our Stations of the Cross Devotional Guide was written to go along with our coloring posters and coloring pages. It has a devotion for each station, along with discussion questions for all ages. The Stations of the Cross Interactive Reflection Booklet guides participants through an interactive journey of experiencing the Stations of the Cross through prayer and activities.

The Scriptural Form of the Stations of the Cross

This devotional guide (along with the other Stations of the Cross resources) are based on the scriptural form of the Stations of the Cross, which Pope John Paul II introduced on Good Friday 1991. The stations are listed below, along with their accompanying scriptural references. You'll notice that we are also including a 15th Station, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus.

  • Station 1: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36–41)
  • Station 2: Jesus, Betrayed by Judas, is Arrested (Mark 14:43–46)
  • Station 3: Jesus is Condemned by the Sanhedrin (Luke 22:66–71)
  • Station 4: Jesus is Denied by Peter (Matthew 26:69–75)
  • Station 5: Jesus is Judged by Pilate (Mark 15:1–5, 15)
  • Station 6: Jesus is Scourged and Crowned with Thorns (John 19:1–3)
  • Station 7: Jesus Bears the Cross (John 19:6, 15–17)
  • Station 8: Jesus is Helped by Simon the Cyrenian to Carry the Cross (Mark 15:21)
  • Station 9: Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem (Luke 23:27–31)
  • Station 10: Jesus is Crucified (Luke 23:33–34)
  • Station 11: Jesus Promises His Kingdom to the Good Thief (Luke 23:39–43)
  • Station 12: Jesus Speaks to His Mother and the Disciple (John 19:25–27)
  • Station 13: Jesus Dies on the Cross (Luke 23:44–46)
  • Station 14: Jesus is Placed in the Tomb (Matthew 27:57–60)
  • Station 15: The Resurrection of Jesus (Mark 16:1–6)

Ways to Use Our Devotional Guide

There are many ways to use this devotional guide:

  • Purchase it for yourself or your family, and spend time going through the Stations of the Cross during Lent.
  • Put together an intergenerational Sunday School class during Lent and bring people together for coloring and conversation (using the reflection and questions in the devotional guide).
  • Download it and print it off to take to those in your congregation who can't make it to weekly worship as a way to connect them with what your church is doing during Lent.
  • Use the devotions as conversation starters for your youth group during Lent, and discuss while coloring our large Stations of the Cross Coloring Posters.

Error in IMS 2019 Stations of the Cross Devotional Guide
Error in IMS 2019 Stations of the Cross Devotional Guide

Greetings,
While flipping through the 2019 copyrighted Stations of the Cross Devotional Guide, I noticed an error on "Station XIII: Darkness, Jesus dies on the Cross".

The error in Station XIII: Darkness is in the first sentence of the section "Reflection for Adults", which states:  "On July 1, 1941, the Nazis occupied Riga, Lithuania."   

Riga is not in Lithuania.  Riga is the capital city of Latvia.  While Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are all typically referred to as "The Baltic States", they are all three separate countries.  All three are also NATO and EU member countries.

For your reference, this website will provide you with a good history of the surviving Peitav-Shul Synagogue, and the related Nazi destruction that occurred on the 4th of July in 1941 in the city of Riga, Latvia:

Please correct that location error in any future publications, in your online versions, plus in any versions on Writer Geoff Duffy's website.

Thank you!

Linda, thanks so much for pointing out that error in our publication. It has been fixed!

Wish it was different
Two things that I didn't realize until I purchased this devotional booklet.

1. The PDF is not in Booklet form. It is in page form which means it prints to an entire 8.5x11 page. 53 sheets worth of paper! I couldn't find anyway to change it to a booklet form which would make it more manageable as a devotional guide.

2. The illustrations to color are tiny. They put two stations to color per page which makes them even tinier. There is very little to actually color in the booklet. Instead of making them a full page they put a two page color layout on one page in the middle. Most of it is lines.

Stephen, sorry you didn't find this product to be just what you were looking for. This was meant to be a supplement to our Stations of the Cross Coloring Posters and Coloring Sheets, so the devotional did not include illustrations that were meant to be colored. The illustrations you referred to were just there to help reference which illustrations went with what devotional. Thanks for the comment about the PDF not being in booklet form. That's something we'll take into consideration in the future as we are deciding on the best way to produce it. We did have quite a few people in our IllustratedCM Community Facebook Group share how they took the PDF files and made booklets out of it.
