Stations For A New Millennium Stations of the Cross with Poems and artwork by Leona M Seufert He is risen! Stations of the Cross are used by Christians as a way to meditate upon Jesus Christ’s last days on earth and his death by crucifixion and his resurrection. This booklet looks at the 14 traditional “stations” from a modern perspective. My poems focus on how 21st Century humanity has found hundreds of ways to cause Jesus pain on a daily basis. Not just through the millennium old sins such as greed, lust, murder and lies. With the advent of technology, unique ways to sin, to hurt not just our neighbor but also our planet, have been born. We crucify Jesus in ways the people of Jesus’ time could not even dreamt of. We take our talents and man made creations and use them in the service of the evil. Good stewardship of this planet, until only recently, was a forgotten concept. Loving our neighbor has been overshadowed by our needs to surpass and squash anyone who is a threat to our egos. We have technologies that could feed the world, wipe out diseases, create shelter for all and we selectively apply it, denying whole populations of the benefits. Welcome to the 21st century. These stations are the “Via Dolarosa” we’ve created. See Christ bleed. 21st Century Golgotha And the world turns in sorrow And the world turns in pain People are tortured And killed in God’s name. A planet is ravished, A planet is defiled. Sin upon sin By mankind piles high. The devil is walking His power takes hold. Christ’s 21st Century Golgotha unfolds. Bleeding and battered Head crowned with thorns The Via Dolarosa From our selfishness reborn. © 2021 Leona M Seufert 18 pages, PDF format, FREE For more information and to obtain a copy, please e-mail me Studio-L@att.net Put Stations in the subject line and your name in the body of the message.
