“Today you are going to walk with Jesus,” Pope Francis said at the beginning of the Via Crucis, or Way of the Cross, the culminating event of this Friday during the celebration of World Youth Day.
But, the Pope said, “the way that is most engraved in our hearts is the way of Calvary, the Way of the Cross. And today you are going with prayer – we [are going in prayer], me too – with prayer, you are going to renew the Way of the Cross.”Pope Francis insisted, “The Way of Jesus is God coming out of Himself, coming out of Himself to walk among us.” He recalled the triumphant words of the beginning of St John’s Gospel, “The Word became flesh and walked among us.
At the same time, Jesus pushes us “to take the risk of loving,” while always accompanying us throughout our lives. The themes for this WYD’s Via Crucis, proposed by young people themselves, dealt with the “wounds and weaknesses present in the lives of today’s young people,” including poverty, solitude, intolerance, destruction of creation, and dependency.Linking modern weaknesses to the 14 Stations of the Cross aimed at creating “an atmosphere of deep prayer, through which everyone can recognize the strength and motivation they receive from Jesus, both in light and in the darkness of their lives.
