A Very Short Way Of The Cross.VERY POWERFUL!!! Use It



This Way of the Cross can be prayed in 5 minutes (or less).

One of the most powerful prayers during Lent is the Way of the Cross, which invites us to retrace the events that led up to Jesus’ crucifixion on Mount Calvary. However, it’s not always easy to find the time to pray the pious devotion.

The good news is that there is no single way to pray the Way of the Cross, and while some versions may take longer, there are other options that take considerably less time.

One option is a method reportedly used by Franciscan friars when they went out on missions. Franciscans have always had a close link to the Way of the Cross as they have had a constant presence in the Holy Land since the 14th century.

Here is their short Way of the Cross that can be prayed in about 5 minutes, depending on how long you meditate on each station.
