Praying the Stations of the Cross with St. Eugene
Published on Friday 6 March 2026
To honor St. Eugene’s transformative Good Friday experience and celebrate the bicentenary of the Congregation, we are pleased to publish Stations of the Cross with St. Eugene.
On Good Friday in 1807, during the adoration of the Cross, St. Eugene de Mazenod came face-to-face with Christ’s love and goodness. He later wrote of this moment, “My soul was longing for its ultimate goal, God, the unique good whose loss I deeply felt.”
To honor St. Eugene’s transformative Good Friday experience and celebrate the bicentenary of the Congregation, we are pleased to publish Stations of the Cross with St. Eugene. This work is the fruit of a collaborative journey within the Oblate family, featuring particular contributions from Mary Tyrrell, Dawn Benbow, Fr. Michael Hughes, and Fr. Lorcan O’Reilly.
Whether used for individual reflection or communal prayer, these Stations invite a personal meditation on Jesus’ journey to the Cross. Our hope is that all who pray them will, like St. Eugene, come face-to-face with the profound love of God in this present moment.
