Description
The following is a description of a new way of re-living the Passion, called the "Way of the Cross." The Way of the Cross is a simple but original way of telling the Passion story that is based on eyewitness accounts. The author, an anonymous author from Croatia, revised the manuscript and put it into the present format. The Way of the Cross is a way for people to become aware that they could also be a Pilate, Simon of Cyrene, the thief who was unrepentant, or Mary Magdalene.
In a church in Cape Town (South Africa), a young English Priest was guiding a simple but original "Way of the Cross": the Passion narrated by the eyewitnesses. At the Altar, alternatively came fourteen readers, who identified themselves with the persons who lived the drama of that Friday, which history will call "Holy". People knelt in front of the traditional pictures, asking for the Lord's forgiveness, then listened to the readings about Pilate, Simon of Cyrene, Longinus, Dismiss, Mary Magdalene......
An anonymous author (probably from Croatia) wrote this manuscript which then, the theologian Valentino Salvoldi revised and put into the present format, adding only the part of the CHOIR, a dramatic dialogue with the different eyewitnesses, leading to end each station with a prayer.
It is indeed a new and interesting way of re-living the Passion, to become aware that each one of us could also be a Pilate, Simon of Cyrene, the good and unrepentant thief......for, all of us are saints and sinners at the time, and all in need of God's mercy.
