Praying the Way of the Cross in the Vatican Gardens

Listening to the Voice of the Lord

Together through the Vatican Gardens to relive the sorrowful Passion of Christ. As is tradition, this year as well, the Governorate of the Vatican City State promoted the pious exercise of praying the Way of the Cross for its employees.

Led by the Secretary General Archbishop Emilio Nappa, the working community of the Governorate took part in the procession through the beautiful gardens on a sunny Tuesday morning, March 24. As Pope Leo XIV emphasized in his Message for Lent 2026: “The Lenten journey is a welcome opportunity to heed the voice of the Lord and renew our commitment to following Christ, accompanying him on the road to Jerusalem, where the mystery of his passion, death and resurrection will be fulfilled.”
