The Way of the Cross is a Door to the Divine Mercy of God as we meditate on the sorrowful passion of Christ. In the Diary of Divine Mercy #1572, Jesus asks us to try our best to make the Stations of the Cross in the third hour. Truth of the Spirit with Patti Brunner offers you these moments of meditation on the Stations of the Cross.
When Saint Helen visited the Holy Land, in the 4th century, she identified the places and events of the Way of the Cross. They lived in the hearts of the people as they walked the walk of remembrance and told their children’s children the stories that were told to them. Signs and wonders confirmed the Holy Places. The tales were then told across the channels and the ocean until many longed to stand where Jesus stood and walk where Jesus walked. The precious Walk of the Cross brought many to repentance and renewal of relationship with the Creator and with Jesus. In the 14th century a liturgy was developed to be shared, taught and practiced. The liturgy began so that those who could not make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land could still recall all the events of the Way of the Cross and, by meditating upon them, grow closer to God. This liturgy continues today to remind us of the steps of Christ, to remind us of the sacrifice, to remind us of the triumph over the very worst handed out by sin of the world as suffering.
