station, however, is described
in words Christ and His Bless
ed Mother might direct at to-
days young people-in terms
of their everyday experiences.
Father Hurley, one of the
original Father Jim column
lists for the YOUNG cATHO-
Lie MESSENGER, sees in this
series of reflections a means
through which "boys and girls
will discover a deeper and
more real appreciation of
Christ's Passion" More than
30 years experience working
with young people as a teach
er, writer, and pastor, have
helped him to speak their
language"
The meditations for each
station in the new book are
divided conveniently into
three units. Each can be used
separately on different days
or together when more time
for meditating on each station
is available.
Father Hurley recommends
these new reflections to teach
ers and priests for group use
during Lent-as a basis for
regular class reflections dur
ing a period set aside for men,
tai prayer and/o or for regular
Lenten devotions.
