All I can say is that I keep comparing how Pope Leo is strong enough to lift a cross all on his own while humble enough to walk this road with others while the stupid MAGAs wheel around pretending to carry a cross and start excluding Catholics from Holy Week events.
Beautiful writing, Christopher. I was blessed to spend the last 13 hours at church, starting with morning prayer, ending with Tenebrae. I have a lot of crosses on my back right now, but I am so fortunate to know the Lord is helping me carry them. I’m looking forward to a low key Vigil at a Franciscan convent tomorrow night, and will go to my beautiful Basilica for morning Mass Sunday. May your Easter be a blessed one.
Thank you for this post tonight, was very moving and thought provoking during my evening meditation. I didn’t know about the son of Simon, but what a beautiful detail and reflection.
Thank you for this Chris. I wasn’t able to go to church today for stations or the 3:00 service. After reading this I feel as though I’m closer to Jesus. I have watched Pope Leo on YouTube. I remember growing up we had to be inside the house from 12:00-3:00 because that was the time Jesus was crucified.

We walked the Stations of the Cross tonight at my Episcopal church …always a very moving experience. May the God of peace bring peace to the world.

I love being taught by example. Thank you, Pope Leo. May God bless us all.
