This is the memorial day of Jesus death on the cross, for our sins. One Roman Catholic tradition that I approve of and intend to follow today was instituted by St Francis of Assisi in the 12th Century. Instead of celebrating Mass today Roman Catholics and thousands of others will recite the 'Stations of the Cross.' Usually hundreds will travel to Israel, the Holy Land, to walk the Stations following the path that Jesus walked 2,000 years ago. They visualize and walk that path right along with Jesus, as a way of sharing in his suffering, remembering how much he paid for us, and growing closer to God.

If you can not do so physically today we can still all walk the Stations of the Cross virtually online, visualizing Jesus suffering journey, remembering the price he paid for us.

So we will follow today the Scriptural Stations of the Cross, walking the path to the cross along with the Lord. Structurally, Mel Gibson’s 2004 film, The Passion of the Christ, follows the stations. Today so shall we – you are warned therefore that today's website is not for those of a nervous disposition or young children as the video's are mostly taken from 'The Passion of the Christ' the most realistic version of his torture and death.
