Saint Francis of Assisi, whose 800th anniversary of death we celebrate this year, describes our Christian life with the words of the Apostle Peter: He reminds us that we are called to "follow in the footsteps of Christ, who called his betrayer friend and voluntarily handed himself over to his crucifiers" (cf. NbR XXII, 2; cf. 1 Pt 2:21). The Poverello encourages us to turn our gaze to Jesus: "Let us all, brothers, pay attention to the good shepherd who, to save his sheep, suffered the torment of the cross" (Erm VI). Let us therefore accept the invitation of Saint Francis on this Way of the Cross to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, not only ritually or intellectually, but with our whole being and our whole life: "Offer yourselves, body and soul, and carry his holy cross and follow his most holy commandments to the very end" (Off XV 13). (from the introduction of the Way of the Cross meditation with the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, in the Roman Colosseum on April 03, 2026)

The Irish-born writer and literary scholar Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963), author of the fantasy series „The Chronicles of Narnia“ (awarded the Carnegie Medal for Literature for the last volume in 1956), only found his way to Christianity after a phase of atheism and materialism. Before the sacred miniature monument standing here in the form of a Way of the Cross station, I quote an important sentence by C. S. Lewis, which he noted down in the period of his turning to Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer (1931): + „Now the story of Christ is simply a true myth: a myth of the same sort as all the others, but with the tremendous difference that he really happened.”

After some wide (and partly asphalted) farm tracks, it is extremely pleasant to walk such a path.
