In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Stations of the Cross are a meditation on life. We are invited to walk again with Jesus the Way of the Cross. Today, he continues his painful journey among our brothers and sisters who are being condemned, kidnapped, starved, abandoned, aborted, tortured, and killed day after day all over the world.

The passion of Christ can teach us how to cope with the hardships of life. We can understand better the mystery of evil and the pain of living by reflecting again on the suffering of Christ, the lonely desertion he suffered and the values he found in taking up his cross and sticking with it.
