Fifteen groups of parishioners shared their talents to tell the story of the Resurrection in 15 Stations. From home-baked bread, broken and shared, to drama and art, each station offered a unique and faith-filled take on the story. Here is a sample, from Station # 3 (Jesus meets the women at the tomb), we have Jesus’ words, as imagined by Arie Taupier:
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
