About this sermon
👉🏻 Sign up here: https://mailchi.mp/ewtn/vatican Join us on a journey of faith and reflection as we explore the origins and meaning of the Via Crucis, or Way of the Cross, a pious practice that invites believers to relive the scenes of the Passion of Christ. From Pontius Pilate's praetorium to Jesus' arrival at Calvary and his death on the Cross, we'll follow in the footsteps of Christ and discover how the Cross, once an instrument of death, became a symbol of peace and salvation. We'll also learn about the history of the Via Crucis, from its roots in the Fourth Century to its consolidation in the middle of the 17th Century, and its spread throughout the world, thanks to the work of Fr. Leonard of Port Maurice. Finally, we'll hear Pope Francis' reflections on the importance of the Cross in our lives, and how it teaches us to face the horror of our sins, the greatness of God's love, the injustice of our decisions, and the power of His mercy. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your faith and walk the Way of the Cross with us. #ViaCrucis #HolyWeek #FaithAndReflection 👥 Follow us on our social networks: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/EWTNVatican/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EWTNVatican Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EWTNVatican
