On Saint Benedict's Ladder
"A" Story
Photo By: Flickr/Dan - Stations of the Cross
She thought she was a straight “A” student. Well maybe at one time back in public grade school she got her little “A's”. She thought that’s who she was and anything less was an aberration.
Wisdom was a favorite book. Proverbs made her try to be better. Psalms were her soundbites. She needed Father, Son and Holy Spirit to get through school and kept the Holy Bible close.
She walked to church and wondered about many things. Our Lord was there, she wondered why more weren't at the Stations of the Cross? Each Station was a story about how Jesus died on the Cross for us, and; His Mother was there.
When someone said that she wasn't "Saved" because she was a Catholic, she answered that she was. She tried to say she knew Jesus died on a Cross for her. Why wouldn't they believe her? Why wouldn't they listen?
Stations of the Cross need to be heard. Let's try to attend at least one Stations of the Cross this Lent.
