Seeing His Son nailed to a cross did not make the Father reject us; instead He offered us even more hope and love through the resurrection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn this beautiful set of reflections on Mark's Gospel, Father Joseph Chalmers gives a fresh perspective on the traditional practice of tracing Jesus' Passion through the 'Stations of the Cross'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAfter setting Mark's Gospel in context and exploring its layers of meaning through informative scriptural commentary, Fr.
