Reflections on the Passion Frank Maduri

This book guides the reader through a series of reflections on the Stations of The Cross which recounts the final hours of the life of Jesus Christ. The book has three different versions of reflections based on the amount of time that the reader has to pray and reflect within this ancient Christian faith ritual. The Workday version is meant for those who have less time due to the obligations of their day. The Marian version is through the eyes of The Blessed Mother. The Traditional version features longer reflections and the traditional prayers after each Station. The book provides an additional reflection on The Risen Jesus and the powerful effect that has on each of us in a personal way through our own "Way of the Cross" in our daily lives. The work is accentuated by profoundly moving illustrations completed by a team of talented artists which will help the reader become immersed in a deeply personal reflection on the unbelievable love that Jesus displayed on His Way to the Cross. Each reflection is uniquely suited and customized to meet the increasingly busy lives that many of us lead. It can also serve as a way to slow down and take a prayer break from all of the chaos of the day. The author and the artists have agreed to donate all of the proceeds of the sales of this book to ACN (Aid to the Church In Need) to assist the persecuted Christians in the Nineveh Plains region of the Middle East. These believers have been brutally tortured, displaced from their homes, captured, and executed by ISIS over a period of several years. Please take a prayer reflection journey with Jesus and gain deeper meaning and understanding of the power and redemption of The Cross. In a world full of violence and unrest this is a great way to help others and offer prayers for peace in a fallen society. A brief history of the Stations of the Cross is included as well as some background from the author on the importance of this prayer devotion. An accompanying wooden art set will be sold separately which will allow the faithful to pray the Stations of the Cross along with the book in their homes as a family or with a family member or friend who is home bound or sick.
