Overview
- The Stations of the Cross, also called Via Crucis, Via Dolorosa or the Way of the Cross, is a Catholic devotion to the Passion of Christ consisting of prayers and meditations on fourteen events (“stations”) experienced by Christ on His way to the crucifixion and burial.
- The Way of the Cross is not a work of profound scholarly knowledge. It is essentially a devotional exercise, a means which men and women can use to make contact with God, to adore Him, to thank Him, to increase their love for Him.
- Devotion to the sufferings of Christ, is particularly recommended for all who wish to live "upon the model of that charity which Christ showed to us when he gave himself up on our behalf" (Eph 6,2).
