01 October Why Did Jesus Christ Die For Our Sins?Basically, the reason Jesus died for our sins was so that we can be forgiven and be with the Lord, God. Jesus is God flesh (John 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9) and can only satisfy the Law requirements of a perfect life and perfect sacrifice that cleanses us of our sins.
All people have sinned against God. But, God is infinitely holy and righteous. He must punish the sinner, the Law breaker. If He didn't, then His law is not law for there is no law that is a law without punishment. The punishment for breaking the law is death, separation from God. Therefore, we sinners need a way to escape the righteous judgement of God. Since we are stained by sin and cannot keep the law of God, then then only one who could do what we cannot if God Himself. That is why Jesus is God in flesh. He is both divine and human. He was made under the Law (Gal. 4:5-6) and he fulfilled it perfectly. Therefore, His Sacrifice to God the Father on our behalf is of infinite value and is sufficient to cleanse all people from their sins and undo the offense to God.

01 August The Stations Of The CrossJesus died to take away our sins...
The stations of the Cross is a devotion to the Sacred Passion, in which we accompany, in spirit, our Blessed Lord in His sorrowful journey from the house of Pilate to Calvary, and meditate on His sufferings and death.
Before each Station genuflect and say:
"We adore you, O Christ, and we bless You;
because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world."
Then meditate upon the scene before you for a few moments.
The short prayers for each Station may be helpful.

but deliver us from evil.
