In the concluding words of the Way of the Cross prayer with the Holy Father, which according to ancient tradition takes place every Good Friday in the Roman Colosseum, Pope Benedict XVI summarized in 2006: + “In the mirror of the cross, we have seen all the suffering of present-day humanity. In the cross of Christ, we have seen the suffering of abandoned, abused children, the threats to the family, the division of the world in the arrogance of the rich, who do not see Lazarus before their door, and the poverty of so many who suffer from hunger and thirst. But we have also seen stations of consolation. We have… seen that, just as suffering does not cease, so too consolations do not cease.”
