Stations of the Cross from the Colosseum

Published on by stfranciskw

ROSARY FOR PEACE

Today, on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of our Lord, the patron of our diocese, we will gather at the Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King in Hamilton to pray for peace, especially in Ukraine, and, in union with Pope Francis, to consecrate Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. You are welcome to attend in person at 11am, the prayer will also be livestreamed on the Cathedral’s YouTube channel which you can access by clicking here.

Join Fr. Raphael as he leads us in praying the Stations of the Cross on this Friday in Lent. This Way of the Cross was originally led by Pope Francis on Good Friday in 2015, at the Colosseum in Rome. The meditations for each station were written by the late Cardinal Renato Corti.

The images used in this video were taken by St. Francis of Assisi pilgrims in the Holy Land in 2016.
