Father Stephen Morris Publishes Second Book
By Andrew S.
Look out Family Foundation School! There’s a new book in town. After a year of hard work, Father Stephen Morris completed his composition of The Way of the Cross: My Way of Life.
Father Stephen said, “I like to take old things the Church offers and look at them again and find new ways of presenting them to the school. I did this with The Way of the Cross.” Prayers and meditations often lose meaning as the world and language change.
“When religion doesn’t make a life connection, I think it’s in trouble. So I revisit [old devotions] so they can speak to us with our particular concerns and struggles,” said Father Stephen.
The Way of the Cross: My Way of Life is a devotion in which the person who is praying symbolically walks the path of Jesus to his death and burial. “What’s unique about it as a prayer form is you walk with it, you literally move from spot to spot while praying.”
There are fourteen stations that the reader must visit on the path of prayer, each representing a different aspect of Jesus’ path to his crucifixion and burial.
Father Stephen said, “What I’ve tried to do is use the meditations to see where the cross is today and how I might grow by carrying my own cross as well as what there is for me to learn from the experience of Jesus suffering and dying for love.”
