Our Lady's Way of the Cross: A Marian Method in Praying Traditional Via Crucis

Our Lady's Way of the Cross: A Marian Method of Praying the Traditional Via Crucis is a Catholic devotional work that invites the faithful to meditate upon the Passion of Jesus Christ in union with His Blessed Mother. This booklet presents the Traditional Stations of the Cross with Marian meditations that contemplate each station through the sorrowful heart of the Virgin Mary, who followed her Son step by step along the road to Calvary.Rooted in Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the devotional life of the Church, this Marian method of the Via Crucis is intended to foster deeper contrition for sin, a spirit of reparation, and faithful perseverance beneath the Cross, with particular emphasis on the spiritual meaning of Christ's sufferings, the sorrows of His Mother, and the Christian's preparation for death, judgment, and eternity.Especially suited to Lent and Holy Week, this devotion may be prayed privately or in groups and includes the Traditional Way of the Cross with Marian meditations, preparatory and concluding prayers, instructions for praying the Stations, the Stabat Mater, and a Lenten devotion based on the Prophecy of Simeon. This work is intended for Catholics who desire to pray the Stations of the Cross in a more contemplative and penitential spirit.
