Before this rocky cross, a brief thought from Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday this year. Although he was unable to participate in the traditional Stations of the Cross with the Holy Father at the Colosseum in Rome on Good Friday 2025 due to health reasons, he posed the following question in his meditation on the occasion: "Where are we on Golgotha? Beneath the cross? At a distance? Far away? Or perhaps, like the apostles, we are no longer here." He then continues his meditation: "You breathe, and this breath, the last and the first, longs only to be received. Lord Jesus, lead us to your gift. Do not let your breath of life dissipate."
