The Way of Sorrow

If you cannot contemplate high and heavenly things, take refuge in the Passion of Christ, and love to dwell within his Sacred Wounds. For if you devoutly seek the Wounds of Jesus and the precious marks of his Passion, you will find great strength in all troubles.
-Thomas s Kempis

'Jesus Falls a Second time'

From the earliest Days Christians have journeyed to Jerusalem to retrace the path that Jesus took as he carried his cross from Pilate’s house, the place he was condemned to death, to Golgotha, the place of his crucifixion. This path has become known, according to tradition, as the Via Delarosa (‘Way of Sorrow’) or the Via Crucis (‘Way of the Cross’). During the middle ages when pilgrimage to Jerusalem was a large part of the spirituality of the day, replica’s of the Via Delarosa were built all over Europe so that pilgrims would be able to walk the path of Jesus more than once on a lifetime.

We will be hosting our own stations of the cross, in honour of Easter this Sunday the 23rd from 5:30pm – 7:30pm. It will be a time of art, music, meditation and reflection. Come Walk and maybe fnd your way, in the Way of Sorrow, with (literally) millions of others, from all walks of life, who have walked this path before you.
