.- The
Vatican announced today that the meditations for this year’s Good
Friday Way of the Cross will be available to consumers in Italy,
Germany and the U.S.
The Vatican
Publishing House said in a communique this morning that the meditations
will be available starting Tuesday in a number of religious and chain
bookstores in the three participating countries.
This year’s Way
of the Cross, which will be held in Rome’s Coliseum on April 14th--
Good Friday, will be the first ever to be led by Pope Benedict XVI. The
meditations were written by Archbishop Angelo Comastri, who is prelate
emeritus of Loreto and the Pope’s vicar general for Vatican City State.
The communique
says that the meditations "invite us to reflect upon the devastating
power of sin and, at the same time, encourage us to contemplate the
healing power of God's love clearly expressed in the cross of Christ."
The text is
slated to be released today in Italy, Germany and the United States.
Herder and Ignatius Press are the official publishers for the German
and U.S. editions while the Italian is being produced by the Vatican
Publishing House.
