"Lord Jesus, eternal Word of the Father, you have become silence for us. And in the silence that leads us to your tomb, there is one more word we want to say to you, as we reflect on the Way of the Cross we have walked with you: Thank you! Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the gentleness that brings down arrogance. Thank you for the courage with which you took up the cross. Thank you for the peace that flows from your wounds. Thank you for giving your holy Mother to us as our Mother. Thank you for the love you showed in the face of betrayal. Thank you for turning tears into smiles. Thank you for loving everyone without excluding anyone. Thank you for the hope you pour out in the hour of trial. Thank you for the mercy that heals misery. Thank you for laying down everything to be rich for us." to make. Thank you for transforming the cross into a tree of life. Thank you for the forgiveness you offered your murderers. Thank you for conquering death. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the light you kindled in our nights, for reconciling every division and thus making us all brothers and sisters, children of the same Father in heaven. (Stations of the Cross Prayer with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, Good Friday 2023 in the Roman Colosseum)

Trying to stop here spontaneously on a tour is almost impossible. The Johanneshof is so popular in the region that it's practically always busy, and without a reservation, you have no chance of getting a seat in the beer garden. On our last visit, there were even lines.
