Spiritual Holy Communion Prayer: My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you have already come, and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen. Composed by Saint Alphonsus Liguori

Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross (Via Crucis) is an ancient meditation upon the passion and death of Jesus Christ. The images are presented to us to encourage an imaginative and prayerful response to the reality of the love which Christ’s sacrifice represents.
We identify with the crowd accompanying Christ and in it we see cruelty, suffering, sheer exhaustion and the love of Our Lady, St John and Mary Magdalene, the generosity of Simon of Cyrene, the care of Veronica, the despairing sympathy of the women of Jerusalem and the piety and hope of Joseph of Arimathea. As we try to enter the reality of the passion we are encouraged to appreciate the sound, the smells, the pain in this unique drama of love. Jesus perseveres in his sacrificial love in the face of rejection caused by sin, spiritual blindness, self-interest and the abuse of power. We see Christ’s response to all of this in His acceptance and the offering of Himself which leads us to hear, in awe His prayer: ‘Father forgive them for they know not what they do.’
Fr Gunn offers some thoughts while praying the Stations of the Cross in the Church of St Comgall, Brunswick Road, Bangor, Co Down.
