Scriptural Way of the Cross
or Biblical Stations of the Cross Introduced by Pope John Paul II

Print this Page


Free Email Bible Study Free online Bible study on Colossians after Easter

You can begin now at the 1st Station of the Cross
 
Pope John Paul IISince of the 14 traditional stations of the cross, only eight have clear scriptural foundation, Pope John Paul II introduced a new form, the Scriptural Way of the Cross on Good Friday 1991 and performed them at the Colloseum in Rome on Good Fridays during his reign. You'll find scripture included for each of these for your meditation. Protestants should find this very biblical and acceptable, though some prefer an alternate version that includes the Resurrection as the last station.

Before each station: Minister: We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. All: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
All: Because of your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
After each station: All: Lord Jesus, help us walk in your steps.
