The Bible calls all Christians to put on the full armor of God.

Therefore beloved, “Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

Through His Wounds We Are Healed 978-0-89942-116-2

Through His Wounds We Are Healed from Catholic Book Publishing provides a profound spiritual experience by exploring the importance of the Way of the Cross. In this book, author Vojtech Kodet, O. Carm., leads us on a journey of spiritual awareness, demonstrating how the Way of the Cross can be a great way to unite ourselves and the difficulties we face more intimately with Christ in His sufferings. Through His Wounds We Are Healed awakens us to how we can, in this new understanding and unity with Christ, experience His healing power. This deeply comforting book is a tremendous resource for anyone experiencing challenges, illnesses, or any form of suffering.
A devotional on the 14 Stations of the Cross can be immensely helpful during Lent, a 40-day season of penance, prayer, and preparation for Easter in the Christian tradition. This practice, which meditates on Christ's journey to crucifixion and burial, aligns perfectly with Lent's call to reflect on sacrifice, suffering, and redemption.

Among the Features of this book:

First, the Stations--moments like Jesus carrying the cross or being nailed to it--invite deep contemplation of Christ's Passion. During Lent, when believers often fast or sacrifice, this devotional connects personal struggles to Jesus' ultimate offering, fostering gratitude and resilience. It transforms abstract penance into a vivid, relatable journey, making sacrifices more meaningful.
Second, it enhances prayer life. Walking through the 14 scenes, often with scripted prayers or reflections, provides a structured way to focus amidst Lent's introspective demands. It draws the mind to Christ's love and obedience, encouraging a similar surrender to God's will in one's own life.
Third, it promotes repentance, a Lenten cornerstone. Stations like Jesus falling or meeting His mother highlight human frailty and divine mercy, prompting examination of conscience and a resolve to amend faults. This mirrors Lent's emphasis on conversion.
Finally, it prepares the heart for Easter. By tracing Christ's path to the cross--and His death in the 14th Station--the devotional builds anticipation for the Resurrection, linking Lenten discipline to its triumphant end. Whether prayed individually or communally, it roots Lent in scripture and tradition, offering a poignant, tactile way to live out the season's call to holiness, humility, and hope.

Benefits of a small, pocket-sized book, tailored to its compact nature:

These qualities make a pocket-sized book a practical, powerful tool for enrichment on the go.

For centuries, the Church has encouraged us to pray the Stations of the Cross as a way to draw closer to Christ and gain the strength to carry our own crosses by meditating on His Passion. Yet even while doing so, many of us have had trouble imagining and contextualizing the sorrowful events of that day and even the horrid details of the Crucifixion.

In these prayerful pages, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, longtime secretary to Pope Benedict XVI, remedies that failure of our imaginations. Here he vividly depicts Jesus' final, slow, sorrowful passage through the narrow, dusty streets of Jerusalem, out the gate in the city's wall, and unto Golgotha, where our Lord is crucified.

With the help of these powerful meditations, you'll come to feel as if you've been transported all the way back to Jerusalem, to that grim day in A.D. 33, and stand there now, a direct witness to it.

Archbishop Gänswein's stunning reflections on the Stations of the Cross will give life to your own Stations of the Cross devotions and awaken in you a love and sympathy for our Lord greater than any you have felt before.
