A Video Journey Through the Stations of the Cross
I want to depart from my usual Loose Canon topics to share a personal project I have worked on for the past two years. My wife, Victoria, and I created a Stations of the Cross liturgy when I was serving at King of Peace Kingsland (available online here: Logue Stations Booklet) which I thought would translate well to video using images of more contemporary human suffering together with images appropriate for the 14 traditional Stations of the Cross.
The thesis behind this project is that what makes Jesus’ death on the cross unique is not what humans did to Jesus, but that God responded with love to hate and with life to death. These video Stations of the Cross use film of more recent examples of needless suffering alongside images of Christ’s passion to challenge viewers to see how Jesus’ death and resurrection can redeem all of the many times and ways the innocent have endured pain even to death.

I am also grateful for the support and early strong encouragement of my wife, Victoria, without which this dark project would never have seen the light of day.
The resulting sixteen videos take less than a half hour to watch and the site is set up so that one does not have to watch all of the videos in a single sitting. These are not easy to see. Even after two years of working with the footage, I find myself deeply challenged by these videos. They will not be for everyone, but I do find for me that they are a powerful reminder of the power of the cross and I offer them for your Lent (and Holy Week) devotions:
