Lent commemorates the passion and death of Jesus Christ. In a Catholic world, meditating the Way of the Cross, the last moments on the life of Jesus Christ, is part of the tradition. The Way of the Cross has fourteen stations. The Passion, Mel Gibson’s movie made millions of dollars. It’s very graphic. Catholic means universal. One doesn’t have to be a Catholic to understand these Stations of the Cross. These stations include all religions and belief system on Earth. How would you as a person or organization or leader build a better world, a caring place, and a safe environment. In a more global view, the fourteen stations could be depicted as follows:The First Station: Jesus Is Condemned To Death
~ Kevin Carter
The Second Station: Jesus Carries His Cross
~ Homelessness
The Third Station: Jesus Falls the First Time
~ The Fall of Saigon
The Fourth Station: Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother
~ World Press
The Fifth Station: Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross
~ Doctors Without Boarders
The Sixth Station: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
~ Haiti Earthquake Response
The Seventh Station: Jesus Falls A Second Time
~ World Trade Centre 9/11
The Eighth Station: Jesus Speaks to the Holy Women
~ Desmond Tutu
The Ninth Station: Jesus Falls the Third Time
~ Global Warming
The Tenth Station: Jesus is Stripped of His Garments
~ Israel Occupation
The Eleventh Station: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
~ Child prostitution
The Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross
~ Abortion
The Thirteenth Station: Jesus is Taken Down From the Cross
~ Japan earthquake
The Fourteenth Station: Jesus is Laid in the Sepulcher
~ Lest We Forget

Some of the images I`m including in this blog post are extremely graphic, at this point either read it or not, people need to see the real reality going on in Iraq
I`m breaking Shabbat just by posting this but it needs to be written, for the past week I`ve been
