Year of Prayer: Taize Reflection and Stations

 Year of Prayer: Taize Reflection and Stations 

Every Friday between 7.00 and 8.00 during Lent we have an online reflection on 2 or 3 of the stations using images, scripture readings, poems, videos and Taize music to help us reflect on these two stations. We draw reflections from different stations, CAFOD, Aid to Church in Need, Mary's Story, Care for Creation, Vatican, Bishop's Conference, Missio. 

This week we focus on 2 stations the 4th station where Jesus meets his mother Mary, and the 8th station where Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem. 

Our time of reflection starts with looking at the two stations using materials suitable for families with children and after about 15 minutes there is an opportunity for them or adults who are short of time to leave.  We then revisit the two stations with further reflections and times of silence.

This allows us to explore in a different way each station. Last week one person explained how:  

Its very different but that is what makes it interesting and keeps you engaged.

Using Taize music to support our time of prayer.  For those unable to join us, you may want to listen to this familiar Taize chant.  O Lord hear my prayer.
