Above: A video of Fr. Paul Turner and Fr. Ron Raab, CSC describing their work in The Stations of the Cross in Atonement for Abuse and for the Healing of All for Liturgical Press Summer Showcase 2020. 

"I am humbled to be part of this project for the healing of sexual abuse in our Church. Paul Turner's text is stunning. I offer images for all 14 Scriptural Stations of the Cross. I spent a couple of months during our COVID-19 shut down painting these images. I offer some reflections and explanations of my art in the booklet. Here is my approach to this important and soulful text from Paul Turner: I pray that my fingers covered in paint may help redeem the abuse our children faced at the hands of my brothers." -- Fr. Ron Raab, CSC

From Liturgical Press: The Stations of the Cross in Atonement for Abuse and for the Healing of All invites a wounded Church to contemplate the Passion and death of Jesus through the experience of clerical abuse survivors. This one-of-a-kind resource is written and illustrated by priests to foster healing amidst the destruction committed by their brothers. Award-winning author and acclaimed liturgist Paul Turner pairs each of the fourteen scripture-based Stations with powerful quotes from survivors of clerical sexual abuse, and responds to each with profound confessional prayer. Thought-provoking paintings by author, counselor, and liturgist Ronald Patrick Raab, CSC, accompany each Station.

Order a copy from Liturgical Press in Collegeville, MN. The booklet was published December, 2020.
