Description
A devotion for Passiontide, comprising prayers by Eric Milner-White (1884-1963), and organ music by Philip Moore. This publication offers a ruminative resource for prayer or reflection on Christ’s death. It has a structure that is similar to the Stations of the Cross, used for many centuries. This book contains a selection of deeply felt but restrained prayers. These are interspersed with 15 descriptive organ pieces, which act as musical responses to the words, and range from meditative to more dramatic, harrowing moods. Together, the prayers and music combine to provide a beautifully fresh perspective on Lenten themes. Via Crucis could be used as a focus for meditation or a contemplation of spiritual issues.
