What are the Stations of the Cross? They are a prayer, a devotion, in which we accompany Jesus through the moments leading up to Crucifixion and death. At each station, we meditate on an image depicting one of those moments, and we reflect upon this moment, following our Lord intimately on his sorrowful journey to Calvary. What is the history of this prayer?

In this podcast, Father Thomas McFadden OFMCap, a Capuchin priest, gives some background to this ancient Christian devotion and reflects upon its significance in our Christian life.
