About this book
“There is no other way to peace but through the most burning love of the Crucified.” — St. Bonaventure
Saints Francis and Clare meditated constantly on the Passion of Christ. In this Way of the Cross, Fr. André Cirino, OFM, and Josef Raischl, OFS, walk the fourteen Stations in their spirit. At each Station Jesus himself speaks to the one who walks beside him, and each closes with the Franciscan prayer “We adore You,” set to music by Josef Raischl.
An introduction tells how the friars spread this devotion, from the Stations St. Leonard set up on the road to St. Bonaventure on the Palatine in Rome to the friars who still walk the original Stations in Jerusalem every Friday.
Pray it alone in church, or together, with a lector reading the meditations and everyone singing the mantra. Published for the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis.
