The Passion of the Christ: The Way of the Cross - Catholic (John 14:1-6)

Source: ChurchWiseAI91 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

The Via Dolorosa—the Way of the Cross—depicts Jesus walking His own words: He is the way. Catholic devotion traces this way through the Stations of the Cross, following Jesus to Calvary. "I am the way" means Christ's path of self-giving love is the path to the Father. The Church mediates Christ's way through sacraments, tradition, and teaching. While Christ is the exclusive way, the Church holds hope for those who seek God sincerely—Christ may work through means known to Himself. The way is Christ; we follow through His Body, the Church.
