Way of the Cross Through the Eyes of Mary
Friday, April 8, 2022 | 5:30 p.m.
Walk the way of the cross through the eyes of our Blessed Mother. It is known that Mary marked the first stations of Jesus’ suffering on the way to Calvary. This devotion helps us to follow Jesus with a deeper understanding of the suffering He endured for our salvation. With this understanding, we can grow closer to Him and align our lives with His, as well as imitate His mother’s love for Christ and others.
