In the top drawer of his Nightstand
Dominik kept this small Stations of the Cross booklet in the top drawer of his nightstand.
During Lent, the Petteys tried to pray the stations together on Fridays.
“Whenever we could not go to stations at the parish, we would use ‘Dominik’s Stations of the Cross’ booklet,” says Dominik’s mother. “I know he’d pray it when he wanted to go out with his friends on a Friday in Lent.”
It would usually be lying on his bed after he headed out the door.
During this COVID-19 pandemic, there may be rosaries, medals, prayer cards, Kairos notebooks or Stations of the Cross booklets in the drawers of your nightstands that might provide some comfort for you now.
When Dominik was going through a tough time Junior year, he turned to prayers and sacramentals for comfort, too.
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam…
