About Me

Lutherans Connect: Lutherans Connect is an online portal for devotional projects with an ecumenical reach. Begun in association with Lutheran Campus Ministry Toronto in 2008, now, in 2026, Lutherans Connect has evolved over the years into its own dedicated ministry which publishes devotionals in relationship to the seasons of the church and the times in between. Recently, the Lutherans Connect devotional ministry has come under the auspices of the Centre for Spirituality and Media at Martin Luther University College in Waterloo, Ontario. The Lutherans Connect online devotional series are supported by Martin Luther University College and the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, through its Mission Committee partnerships.

About This Devotional

Many of us have heard of, or even prayerfully observed the “stations of the cross”, meditating on specific moments in the Crucifixion of Jesus. Over the centuries, different versions have evolved, including the number of stations observed. This Lent, we will reflect on the events in Jesus’ life which can be thought of as ‘stations’ of his story — moments of teaching and ministry in which Jesus or others signal what lies ahead. How are these moments also ‘stations of the Cross’ even before Jesus has been condemned? In addition, we will visit the contemporary stories of individuals and communities around the world whose lives involve acts of resistance to empire or a permanent commitment to the wilderness, as a way of helping to provide a better life for us all. Who are these unsung heroes of our own time and how can they inspire us? Throughout the project we will feature images that express the ‘waystation’, a place of temporary refuge on a pilgrimage or trek. How will we make space in our own lives for prayer to God?
