The Way of the Cross According to John -  Eugene LaVerdiere, S.S.S.

During Lent in 2022 our parish did On the Way of the Cross with Saint Paul by Eugene LaVerdiere, S.S.S. and it was excellent. During research I found that Father LaVerdiere also wrote this Station and also ones according to each of the other Gospels. I was able to order 1 copy of each from Emmanuel Publishing. This was the fourth I have done, and we did it at church during the Second Friday of Lent 2025. These are excellent volumes. I try and pray a Stations each Friday of the year, and I strive to pray a Stations each day during Lent. The stations written by Father Eugene LaVerdiere, S.S.S., are:


I do not recount encountering the works of Father Eugene prior to that first Stations. But having look at the list of volumes he published I have added several to my wish list. I discovered that Father Eugene LaVerdiere, SSS, was a distinguished lecturer at Fordham University in New York and an adjunct professor at the Catholic Theological Union. He published numerous books and articles, he published works on Scripture on Luke from the New Testament Message series, The Eucharist in the New Testament and the Early Church, and The Beginning of the Gospel: Introducing the Gospel According to Mark Volumes 1 and 2. He was also the senior editor of Emmanuel magazine. The publishing company that produces this and the other Stations composed by him. The description of this volume is:

“John’s Way of the Cross echoes the passion account proclaimed each year in the liturgy of Good Friday. John wrote for a community at grips with the most basic issues of life and meaning. Then as now, the answer was in the person of Jesus. And so we turn to John for this Way of the Cross, following Jesus as he is raised up and draws all peoples to himself.”

A sample station is:

Third Station
Leader: Third Station: Jesus Falls the First Time

Cross bearer: We adore you, 0 Christ, and we praise you.

All: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

You may be seated.

Leader:
Jesus himself did not fall, least of all in the Passion
according to John. In John's Gospel Jesus is Lord from the
beginning (18:3-8). But Jesus did fall in the person of his
disciples. When he spoke of his flesh as true food and his
blood as true drink (6:55-56), many of his disciples left
him and returned to their previous way of life (6:66).

A Young Boy:
I was there on the mountainside when he broke the
bread for the five thousand. Jesus asked where they might
buy bread for the crowd to eat, and Philip pointed to the
futility of it all. Even two hundred denarii would not
buy enough bread for such a crowd. Andrew noticed I
had five barley loaves and two fish. I offered the bread. It
became bread from heaven (6:1-11).

The Lord Jesus:
I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never
hunger and whoever believes in me will never thirst
(6:35,48). No one can come to me unless drawn by the
Father. those who come to me I will raise on the last day
(6:44). The bread that I give is my flesh for the life of the
world (6:51).

Leader: Everything that the Father gives me will come to me,
and I will not reject anyone who comes to me.

All: The bread of God comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.
John 6:37, 33

(Please stand.)

Leader: Let us pray.

All:
Christ Jesus,
you said, "I came down from heaven not to do my own will
but the will of the one who sent me" (6:29).
We thank you, Lord,
and we bless you.
We want to work not for food that perishes
but for the food that endures for eternal life,
the food you alone can give.
For this we praise you, our Lord and Savior,
living and reigning for ever and ever.
Amen.

I hope that sample station gives you a feel for this version of this devotion. This is another excellent stations of the cross. I loved praying it at church in community and know I will pray it on my own often. It was a great tool to pray and reflect upon it on my own. I have read all the stations by Father Eugene and look forward to reading some of his other books. I know I will return to these stations often. I just wish this, and other volumes were available electronically, with my dual form of dyslexia I prefer eBooks so I can change the font, font and page colour to make books more accessible and easier to read.

This is another great resource for personal, family, or parish use. It is an excellent version of this devotion; I can easily recommend this volume.

He was also the senior editor of Emmanuel magazine. The publishing company that produces this and the other Stations composed by him. The description of this volume is:

“Lukes’ Gospel tells the story “of the events that have been fulfilled among us, just as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and ministers of the word have handed them down to us” (1:1-2). As the early Christians met resistance and internal difficulties, the image of Jesus, ever loving and forgiving, became blurred. We too, will be strengthened in faith and love through Luke’s Way of the Cross as we follow Jesus to Jerusalem and the place of crucifixion.”

A sample station is:

Third Station
Leader: Third Station: Jesus Falls the First Time
Cross bearer: We adore you, 0 Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
You may be seated.

Leader:
Jesus fell. The Son of the Most High, God's chosen one
for the throne of David (1:32) fell. Our Savior ( 2: 11)
fell in the person of his followers, too weak to stand
when faced with rejection. When they asked if fire
might be called down from heaven on those who
opposed them, Jesus rebuked them (9:54~55). Rising,
they continued with him on the journey to God (9:57).

Simeon:
It was such a short time ago I took him in my arms and
blessed God. I had waited so long, certain I would not
die before seeing the Messiah of the Lord. Little did I
realize what would be asked of God's Messiah and his
followers. "Master, you may let your servan t go in peace,
according to your word" ( 2 : 26~ 29).

Anna:
I still hear the echo of Simeon's canticle, strong and
vibrant. I hear too his message to Mary: "This child is
destined for the fall and rise of many in Israe l, and to be
a sign that will be contradicted ... so that the thoughts
of many hearts may be revealed" (2:34-35). All those
years of prayer and fasting (2:37). They prepared me for
this moment.

Leader: My eyes have seen your salvation,
All: which you prepared in sight of all the peoples.
Luke 2:30-31

(Please stand.)

Leader: Let us pray.
All:
Lord Jesus,
you fell every time your disciples fell.
And they fell over and over again,
as we fall today.
But you never abandoned them,
and you never abandon us.
Help us to rise
when we stumble and fall through impatience.
For this we pray to you, our Lord and Savior,
living and reigning for ever and ever.
Amen.”

I hope that sample station gives you a feel for this version of this devotion. This is another excellent stations of the cross. I loved praying in on my own and would greatly enjoy doing it at church with a few different people playing the different roles. It was a great tool to pray and reflect upon it on my own. I look forward to reading the other stations by Father Eugene and some of his other books. I know I will return to these stations often. I just wish this, and other volumes were available electronically, with my dual form of dyslexia I prefer eBooks so I can change the font, font and page colour to make books more accessible and easier to read.

I discovered that Father Eugene LaVerdiere, SSS, was a distinguished lecturer at Fordham University in New York and an adjunct professor at the Catholic Theological Union.

The publishing company that produces this and the other Stations composed by him. The description of this volume is:

“Mark’s Gospel is the story of “the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (1:1). Mark’s story to Christians who felt certain the end had come was the story of Jesus’ journey to the cross, a journey to new life, an extraordinary new beginning signaled by Jesus’ resurrection. Together in Mark’s Way of the Cross we follow Jesus on his life journey to Golgotha.”

A sample station is:

Third Station

Leader:
Third Station: Jesus Falls the First Time Cross bearer:
We adore you, 0 Christ, and we praise you.

All:
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

You may be seated.

Leader:
Tradition has it that Jesus fell beneath the weight of the cross, not only once but three times. And well he might have. The sins of the world made for a heavy burden. Those who took up their cross and tried to follow him fell over and over again. But there was a difference. Jesus fell out of physical weakness. The disciples fell from spiritual weakness.

A Pharisee:
He had no respect for our traditions. He healed on the Sabbath. Once, he cured at Capernaum. The crowd was enthralled (1:21-28). When he retired to the home of his disciples, word spread that he had cured Simon's mother, in, law. Something had to be done (3:6). He did not even respect the traditions of the elders (7:1-23).

Simon's Mother-in-law:
I remember the first time he came to our home. He came with Simon, my son, in, law, and Andrew. James and John were with them. I was sick with a fever. He came to me, took my hand and raised me up. With that I began my ministry to them (1:29,3 1). He made our home his home at Capemaum.

Leader:
We thought of him as stricken, smitten by God.

All:
It was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings he endured. - Isaiah 53:4

Please stand.

Leader:
Let us pray.

All:
Lord Jesus,
you fell beneath the weight of the cross,
but you held on to it firmly.
We too fall, like the disciples running away,
like Peter denying that he knew you.
Touch our hearts,
fill us with your love.
May we always hold on to your cross
as we stumble and fa ll.
For this we pray to you, our Lord and Savior,
living and reigning for ever and ever.
Amen.”

I hope that sample station give you a feel for this version of this devotion. This is another excellent stations of the cross. I loved praying it on my own and would greatly enjoy doing it at church with a few different people playing the different roles. And it was just as wonderful to pray and reflect upon it on my own. I look forward to reading the other three stations by Father Eugene and some of his other books. I just wish this and other volumes were available electronically, with my dual form of dyslexia I prefer eBooks so I can change the font, font and page colour to make books more accessible and easier to read.

This is a great resource for personal, family, or parish use. An excellent version of this devotion, I can easily recommend this volume.

“Matthew’s Gospel is the story of Jesus, a shepherd for God’s people of Israel (2:6), whose name brought hope to the Gentiles (12:21). Matthew’s community, still close to its Jewish origins, had to choose between the synagogue, the people from whom they came, and the Church, the people now formed in Christ. Together in Matthew’s Way of the Cross we follow Jesus and his followers to Jerusalem and Golgotha, the Place of the Skull.”

A sample station is:

Third Station

Leader:
Third Station: Jesus Falls the First Time 

Cross bearer:
We adore you, 0 Christ, and we praise you.

All:
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

         You may be seated.

Leader:
Jesus fell at Gethsemane, with Peter, the rock on whom he would build his church (16:18), asleep as Jesus prayed, unable to keep watch for one hour on this last night of Jesus' life. The Son of Man was about to be handed over to sinners, but Peter slept, even as the betrayer approached (26:36-46).

Herod:
We had nothing to fear after all! But the day the magi brought news of a newborn king of the Jews and word of it raced through Jerusalem, it was no light matter (2:1-3). I did what was needed to keep order (2:7-8, 16). These days, you never know where news like that will lead. But nothing came of it.

A Scribe in Jerusalem::
Who were these magi to tell us about our newborn king? What was this star of which they spoke? When Herod asked where the Messiah would be born, we told him. We knew from the Scriptures he was to be born in Bethlehem. Thank God we did not follow his star! Look where it brought him and Simon bar Jonah.

Leader:
The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light;

All:
on those dwelling in a land of death light has arisen. - Matthew 4:16; see Isaiah 9:1

        Please stand.

Leader:
Let us pray.

All:
Christ Jesus,
when Peter fell, you fell.
Peter and the disciples followed you
as you showed the way.
When they stumbled and fell,
you did not leave them behind.
Though we fall over and over,
do not abandon us.
For this we pray to you, our Lord and Savior,
living and reigning for ever and ever.
Amen."

I hope that sample station give you a feel for this version of this devotion. This is another excellent stations of the cross. I loved praying in on my own and would greatly enjoy doing it at church with a few different people playing the different roles. It was a great tool to pray and reflect upon it on my own.

This was a Stations of the Cross that we did during Lent in 2023 at our church on a Friday evening. It was a wonderful edition to pray corporately and it is one I will continue to pray privately. I tray and pray a Stations each Friday of the year, and I strive to pray a Stations each day during Lent. While researching this volume for this review I discovered it is one of 5 written by Father Eugene LaVerdiere, S.S.S., they are:


I do not recount encountering the works of Father Eugene prior to this devotion. But looking at the list of volumes he published I have added several to my wish list. I discovered that Father Eugene LaVerdiere, SSS, was a distinguished lecturer at Fordham University in New York and an adjunct professor at the Catholic Theological Union. He published numerous books and articles, he published works on Scripture are Luke from the New Testament Message series, The Eucharist in the New Testament and the Early Church, and The Beginning of the Gospel: Introducing the Gospel According to Mark Volumes 1 and He was also the senior editor of Emmanuel magazine. The publishing company that produces this and the other Stations composed by him. The description of this volume is:

“Paul’s very life was a real Way of the Cross, from his conversion on the Damascus road, onto Jerusalem, and finally to his Martyrdom at Rome. Paul the persecutor of Christians became Paul the persecuted. In baptism, Paul died to Christ and was buried with Christ. Let us follow with Paul as he takes up his cross and follows our Lord and Savior on the Way of the Cross.”

A sample station is:

Third Station

Leader: Third Station: Jesus Falls the First Time
Cross bearer: We adore you, 0 Christ, and we praise you.

All: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

You may be seated.

Leader: For Paul, too, there would be many a fall. The first came in the moment of his conversion. When Christ appeared to him, as a brilliant flash from the sky, Paul fell to the ground. He stayed there until Jesus told him to get up. He was to go into the city. There he would be told what to do (Acts 9:4-6).

Saint Paul: I was on the way to Damascus, certain I was doing the right thing. I had "progressed in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my race," and "I was even more a zealot for my ancestral traditions" (Gal 1:14). That is when God revealed his Son to me (Gal 1:16).

A Corinthian: Paul kept reminding us of our tradition: Christ died, was buried, was raised on the third day, and appeared to Kephas, then to the Twelve (1Cor15:3-5). A few years later, Christ appeared also to him (1 Cor 15:8). That is when God revealed his Son to him (Gal 1:16), transforming his life.

Leader: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

All: He destined us to be his adopted children through Jesus Christ."
Ephesians 1:3a, 5

Please stand.

Leader: Let us pray.

All: Christ Jesus, obedient unto death, God greatly exalted you (Phil 2:8b-9a).
We thank you, Lord, and we bless you. Dying on a cross, you received from God the name above every name (Phil 2:8b, 9b). For this we praise you, our Lord and Savior, living and reigning for ever and ever.
Amen.”

I hope that sample station give you a feel for this version of this devotion. It was Wonderful to do this at church with a few different people playing the different roles. And it was just as wonderful to pray and reflect upon it on my own. This is another great Stations of the Cross. I look forward to tracking down other editions by Father Eugene and some of his other books. I just wish this and other volumes were available electronically, with my dual form of dyslexia I prefer eBooks so I can change the font, font and page colour to make books more accessible and easier to read.

This is a great resource for personal, family, or parish use. An excellent version of this devotion, I can easily recommend this volume.
