The way of the cross with the Pope's intentions

 

During Lenten time, we pray together the Way of the Cross every Friday.

We want to be together with Jesus Christ in his passion

in order to join him also in his resurrection.

Through it we are connected with all persons suffering and pray for them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We do it in different ways, praying in the church or in the garden,

or following a video prepared for this purpose.

You may join us on this Way of the Cross with the Pope's intentions.
