Good to know:      

What are the Stations of the Cross?

The Stations of the Cross (also called the Way of the Cross) is a traditional liturgical devotion commemorating the last day of Jesus’ life. The devotion originated with pilgrims in Jerusalem retracing the traditional steps Jesus is believed to have followed on Good Friday. Since not all Christians could make pilgrimages to Jerusalem, however, the custom arose of replicating the devotion in congregational and individual settings, often with images or carvings on the walls of a church to commemorate each of the traditional 14 stations (or stops) on the Way of the Cross

 A HUGE thank you to Marco Velazquez for the beautiful gift of his painting of St. Stephen's, which arrived from Florida yesterday in the blizzard. It is a beautiful painting, and it now graces our wall of photos. Thank you so much, Marco!

Renovations begin

 Today was the first day of renovations, and look at the amazing work done already. The "step of death" is gone forever, the door by the altar has been closed off and the original door has been opened up. It looks great! There's a lot of work left to do, but the transformation already is amazing!

Words of Wisdom:

A lot of walking away will do your life good.

Walk away from arguments that lead you to anger and nowhere.

Walk away from people who deliberately put you down.

Walk away from the practice of pleasing people who choose to never see your worth.

Walk away from any thought that undermines your peace of mind.

Walk away from judgmental people, they do not know the struggle you are facing and what you have been through.

Walk away from your mistakes and fears, they do not determine your fate.

The more you walk away from things that poison your soul, the healthier your life will be.

~Dodinsky – Author, In the Garden of Thoughts
