Way of the Cross reflections

(A beautiful set of reflections and prayers for this year's Way of Cross service at the Roman Colosseum has been posted here on the Vatican website: very thoughtful, and sometimes even bold. It is also available in French, German [the author's native language], Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Hat tip: Recta Ratio.)

"The Lord bears this burden and falls, over and over again, in order to meet us. He gazes on us, he touches our hearts; he falls in order to raise us up."
