Just the other day, I was feeling nostalgic about Easter, 2005. It was Pope John Paul II's last Easter on earth. I remember watching the Stations of the Cross on EWTN. JPII was unable, of course, to walk the Via Crucis; he prayed it in his private chapel, following the television feed from the Coliseum. Seeing him in his pain and frailty, clinging to the crucifix, still brings tears to my eyes.
Good Friday, 2005
Now, thanks to Fr. Zuhlsdorf, you can
download, listen, and pray along with the beautiful prayers of the Way of the Cross, 2005 (written by then-Cardinal Ratzinger). Fr. Z has also included on this link the Stations written by St. Alphonsus Liguori, a favourite devotion of many. May they bless and inspire you this Lent.
