This is a special Lenten posting, depicting the Stations of the Cross which are along the fence inside the Missionaries of the Poor Monastery at Labuan Bajo at the monastery in Labuan Bajo.

The garden in the monastery is wonderfully serene and peaceful, and a marvellous place for prayer and meditation. Please ponder on the photographs so that, together, we may appreciate the significance of the Lenten season.
