Daily meditations for Advent through Epiphany

If someone had asked Sherlock Holmes later in the year, there is little doubt that he would have said his life began that spring day in 1871 when he met Violet Rushdale upon the moors and ended in the winter some months distant. His mother would have disputed the former claim, and many, both friend and foe, would come to deny the latter.

Yet what happened that year nearly cost him his life and his sanity, and strongly influenced the man he was to become.

"Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his high powered lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his." Dr. John H. Watson in "A Scandal in Bohemia," The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Via Dolorosa (Lat. "sorrowful way") or Via Crucis (Lat. "the way of the Cross") is the path believed to be taken by Jesus from the place of his condemnation by Pilate to Mount Golgotha, the site of his crucifixion, and then to his grave site. Early Christians continued the ancient Jewish practice of pilgrimages to Jerusalem. Out of this practice came the tradition of the Stations of the Cross as a series of commemorative devotions or meditations. Author Diane Zike continues this tradition with this book of daily Lenten meditations.

Meditaciones de Cuaresma

Vía Dolorosa (Lat. “vía dolorosa”) o Via Crucis (Lat. “el Camino de la Cruz”) es el sendero que se cree fue percorrido por Jesús desde el lugar de su condena por Pilato al Monte Golgota, el lugar de su crucifixión, y luego al lugar de su tumba. Los primeros cristianos continuaron la antigua práctica judía de peregrinar hacia Jerusalén. De tal práctica nace la tradiciónde las Estaciones de la Cruz como una serie de devociones conmemorativas y devocionales. La autora, Diane Zike, continúa esa tradición com este libro de meditaciones dárias para a Cuaresma.
