Christine Haapala is the author of over 13 Scriptural prayer books. She founded Suffering Servant Scriptorium in the Jubilee year – 2000.

This new pocket-size format means you can carry the book in your back pocket, briefcase, or purse, thus having it available anytime for prayer.

This prayer book integrates poignant Sacred Scripture verses about courage and strength, the prayers of the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary, and the inspired artistic genius of the 19th century Catholic illustrator, Gustave Dore. All 20 Rosary mysteries are included.

These Bible stories show how much Jesus suffered for you and me. Since Jesus’ birth, the Blessed Virgin Mary bore the prophetic message that her heart would be “pierced by a sword.” She was nearly alone at the foot of the cross. Mary’s heart was surely pierced, when she saw her son’s heart, pierced by a lance.

Inspired watercolors and selections of God's Word introduce children to the suffering of our Savior Jesus Christ by walking each step with Him to Calvary. Along with each station is a heroically holy person who epitomized self-sacrifice, and, primarily, lived and died in the last century.

What is new in the 2nd Edition?
This second edition includes newly canonized: Pope Saint John Paul II, Pope Saint John XXIII, Saint Jeanne Jugan, and Saint Kateri Tekakwitha. Also, included are the changes in the Papacy over the last several years - Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and His Holiness Francis. May God bless you and may His mother bring you to her Son's cross where you can lay all your burdens down.
Some uses of this prayer book are:
  • For a group or community of people, use it during Stations of the Cross devotions. Have different leaders pray the Scriptures, prayers, and homily selections.
  • For Catholic educators, use it as a textbook to teach The Stations of the Cross and a unit study on the Saints in Our Time.
  • For individual reflection, use before or after Mass or during Eucharistic Adoration to walk the Via Dolorosa.
  • For religious education of those too young to read, introduce this devotion, perhaps, even one Station at a time. Nonreaders can appreciate the pictures, while parents read the Sacred Scripture and pray with them.
