Communion & Liberation Way of the Cross

Sharing an email:

I wanted to introduce all of you to what is the most solemn gesture of Communion and Liberation in cities across the world, that is, The Way of the Cross. Since its earliest days CL has taken particular care to mark Good Friday by organizing a beautiful, public Via Crucis in the cities were people of the Movement live. We do the Way of the Cross on the streets of major cities to say that the truth of Christ's death and resurrection is not a private matter of conscience; rather, it is the definitive event of history. The public gesture is a missionary gesture and we invite friends and families to join us in marking the day. The Way of the Cross proceeds in silence with several stations along the route where readings (mostly from Peguy and Fr. Giussani) and songs are used to help us to meditate on the meaning of Our Lord's crucifixion and death.

We would greatly appreciate your help in sharing with others this solemn gesture. I am including a link that includes a list of cities in the US where the Way of the Cross will be held and pictures of past events. In particular I draw your attention to the Way of the Cross in New York City which begins in Brooklyn, passes over the Brooklyn Bridge, past Ground Zero, and ends at St. Peter's Church in Manhattan as well as the Way of the Cross in Washington DC which travels from St. Peter's Church on Capital Hill down the Mall to the Washington Monument. In New York over 2,000 people have participated in the past. In Washington, we're a little smaller at around 300.

Thank You for your consideration!
