A lot of people think that the Way of the Cross is an ancient devotion, but I want to assure you that it remains a form of devotion which can help us to be very close to Jesus and Mary. In many of the revelations, when those aspiring to holiness ask Jesus what they can do to please Him, He has told them emphatically to meditate on His sufferings, death and resurrection which have brought salvation to the human race.

At the beginning and at every station there are some wonderful thoughts of Christ. As you meditate on these thoughts of Christ, He may give you a message which is not meant for you alone. By this, God's grace will show you how to live a better life as you finish this "The way of the Cross : stations of the Cross" in union with Mary. Every day, you will grow be like Christ and less of yourself. The whole exercise should be carried out not only with the head but with the heart.
