Stations of the Cross

By: St. John Henry Cardinal Newman

Narrated by: Mike Romano

Though often thought of as a towering intellect and theologian, Cardinal Newman’s writings reveal a man who possessed a simple devotion to Jesus and Mary. These powerful meditations on the Stations of the Cross, originally written for his parishioners in the Birmingham Oratory Church, can aid us with the simple and singular focus on Christ’s passion and our own failings that contributed to it.

Groups of prayers bookend the 14 meditations that, though short enough to be listened to in a matter of minutes, can open up the mystery of Christ’s passion and deepen the meaning of our Lenten journey.

Canonized in 2019, St. John Henry Cardinal Newman has become a new jewel in the crown of the church. The wisdom found in his writings rival the Church Doctor’s and are a blessing to our contemporary world so bereft of Christ’s presence. Here, Cardinal Newman takes our hand and leads us up the suffering path of Calvary, where the Crucified One awaits.

my review

Very well written and performed. Good spurs for self reflection and meditation. (need a couple more words)

A fantastic book

A really great book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be relatable and generally worthwhile to have read. I further highly recommend this book.

Lofty subject lovingly addressed

I think of the stations of the cross as a vast theology class by the Great Teacher. There are so many lessons for humanity and somehow the depths and riches of Christ’s message is inexhaustible . I knew that the genius of Saint John Henry Newman would have much to add. This is more a spiritual journey than an audiobook and ought to be rated six stars

Appreciated the reader's soft voice.

I felt myself pulled into the stations as I walked along with Christ through his passion. Very meaningful!
