This article is a supplemental guide for the Stations of the Cross Prayerful Meditations video.
In the video, Dr. Denis McNamara, Associate Professor & Executive Director of the Center for Beauty & Culture at Benedictine College, introduces you to the Stations of the Cross depicted by classical painter Leonard Porter of New York. This stunning artistic achievement not only serves to support the Catholic faith, but shows that sophisticated traditional art is still alive and well. Meditate on these Stations with the video and use this as a guide to follow along and reflect on the paintings:
