Witnesses to the Risen Christ


 Stations 9

Glory to you, O Christ:
by your death you have destroyed death

and by your resurrection you have brought life and immortality to light


Jesus appears to James, his brother 

The one who witnessed with his death


A brother’s love, a kinship shared.

From childhood into older years

Leaves its own mark upon the heart

Surpassing trivial frets the fears.

Such tenderness and kindness trace

A deeper sense of lasting grace.

And so to sibling James appears

His brother Christ, so loved, so dear.

And from that moment here we find

Servant of Christ, of selfless kind.


Risen Lord, though we are surrounded by testimonies to your love both in life and in death - help us when it is hard to witness within our families and when it is difficult to speak about you in our communities.


Alleluia. Christ is risen 

He is risen indeed. Alleluia
