Fifth Sunday of Lent

The Stations of the Cross started as a practice of pilgrims to Jerusalem who wanted to trace the steps of Jesus to Calvary. Later, this practice was adapted for the sake of those who couldn't travel to Jerusalem. Eventually, it took the form we now know and can find in most Catholic churches: 14 pictures alone the walls of the sanctuary.

The devotion can be prayed at any time, but its observance is especially fitting during Lent. Many parishes offer the Stations of the Cross on Fridays during Lent.

Did I make an effort to pray the Stations of the Cross, alone or with the community, this Lent?
