The Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, prayed the Stations of the Cross in the Colosseum in Rome on Good Friday 2026, following ancient tradition. The meditation – written by Franciscan Father Francesco Patton OFM – states: + "Your life, Jesus, was a constant humbling and descent. Although you are God, you emptied yourself to become human. You were rich and became poor. And at the end of your mission, carrying the burden of all humanity on your shoulders, you fell onto the hard stones of the Via Dolorosa, the path that those condemned to death walked before the eyes of the people of Jerusalem, who hurried to watch as if it were a spectacle. (...) Let us feel your closeness, precisely and above all when we fall; be so close to us that we realize that it is you who lifts us up and lets us continue. And let us too learn to trust, like the grain of wheat in the earth, knowing that, thanks to you, death is the womb of eternal life."
