You may have prayed the Stations of the Cross before, but have you experienced the 12 Stations of the Most Holy Eucharist? Join us to pray these stations, highlighting biblical events prefiguring the Eucharist in the Old Testament and fulfilling it in the New. Celebrate this source and summit of our faith!
For many Catholics, it is sometimes difficult to identify where the Eucharist is in Scripture. We know that the Eucharist is discussed in the “Bread of Life Discourse” in John’s Gospel (Chapter 6), and in the Last Supper, but we are not as educated on other biblical references. The 12 Stations of the Most Holy Eucharist show us the references to the Eucharist in both the Old and New Testaments. They help us to understand how the Eucharist was prefigured in the Old Testament and brought to fruition in the New.
The Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, formerly led by EWTN founder Mother Angelica, are strong promoters of this devotion and have developed beautiful meditations for each station which are on display at their Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama.
