Notre Dame, IN—Just in time for Holy Week 2011, Ave Maria Press has released two new ways to pray the Stations of the Cross in Spanish. Stations of the Cross, an app for iPhone and iPod Touch, was initially released in 2010, but has now been updated with a Spanish-language option, enabling Spanish-speaking users to prayerfully walk in solidarity with Jesus on his agonizing Way of the Cross—from his last tortured moments in the Garden of Gethsemane to his death and burial. The Stations of the Cross iPhone app is the perfect pocket devotional, particularly during this Lenten season.
Blessed Basil Moreau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, wrote that “human life is like a great way of the cross. This way of the cross is everywhere and we travel it every day, even in spite of ourselves and without being aware of it.” Has Redimido al Mundo, the Spanish edition of You Have Redeemed the World, is written from the depths of that understanding. Steeped in the spirituality and mission of the religious communities of the Congregation of Holy Cross, this booklet invites readers to contemplate the saving power of Christ’s death and resurrection through the ancient practice of praying the Stations of the Cross.
