Medjugorje: Our Lady tells you how to pray the Via Crucis for thanks

March 17, 1984
When you do the via crucis, bring with you, in addition to the cross, also the symbols of the passion of Jesus, such as the nails and the hammer, the vinegar, a white sheet, a crown of thorns. They will help you meditate more deeply.
Some passages from the Bible that can help us understand this message.
Luke 9,23: 27-XNUMX
And then, to everyone, he said: “If anyone wants to come after me, deny himself, take up his cross every day and follow me. Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for man to gain the whole world if he loses himself or ruins himself? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels. Truly I say to you: there are some present here who will not die before having seen the kingdom of God ”.
Luke 18,31: 34-XNUMX
Then he took the Twelve with him and said to them: “Behold, we are going to Jerusalem, and all that was written by the prophets about the Son of man will be accomplished. It will be handed over to the pagans, mocked, outraged, covered with spit and, after having scourged him, they will kill him and on the third day he will rise again ". But they understood none of this; that talk remained obscure to them and they did not understand what he had said.
Luke 14,25: 35-XNUMX
As many people went with him, he turned around and said: "If one comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. . Whoever does not carry his cross and does not come after me cannot be my disciple. Who of you, wanting to build a tower, does not sit down first to calculate its expenditure, if it has the means to carry it out? To avoid that, if he lays the foundations and cannot finish the work, everyone who sees starts to deride him, saying: He started building, but was unable to finish the work. Or which king, going to war against another king, does not sit first to examine if he can face with ten thousand men who comes to meet him with twenty thousand? If not, while the other is still far away, he sends him an embassy for peace. So anyone of you who does not renounce all his belongings cannot be my disciple. The salt is good, but if the salt also loses its flavor, what will it be salted with? It is not needed for soil or fertilizer and so they throw it away. Whoever has ears to hear, hear. "
