Stations of the Cross

The Cross: the center of Christianity. The instrument of torture that Jesus Christ made into His triumphant emblem, the weapon of His murder that He turned into the weapon of His victory. The contemplation of the Cross, of Christ's ultimate sacrifice and final triumph, of the divine conquest of death and sin for the benefit of those who murdered Him, has always been a central part of Christian spirituality. This brilliant meditation on the stations of the Cross, by the great St. Alphonsus de Liguori, has long stood preeminent as a means of focusing on His saving sacrifice. In the original Latin and English translation, every Christian will benefit from St. Alphonsus's meditations. Christus vincit! Christus regnat! Christus imperat!
