Since always Christians have accepted that the salvation of humanity is due to the voluntary devotion that Jesus does of his life in the Cross, in obedience to God Father and by his love to all of us. Thus, the cross is not something added, is the only way to salvation and being disciple of the Lord implies to assume the reality of the devotion, the resignation, the service, the pain and the death.

Therefore, believers have felt a special devotion to the prayer of viacrucis, which it's not another thing than to accompany and simultaneously contemplate Christ in his walk by the painful route towards his death in the Cross, with the certainty of resurrection. Pray walking and contemplating each of the 14 stations is to discover the love of God towards us, is to how that passion extends today in so many people who are condemned or suffering, and how in our personal life, the signs of the passion of Christ occur.

Every believer feels himself as a pilgrim, every believer discovers his sins, fragility, pain and death; but he also discovers in the Cross of Christ the sense of those realities and, encouraged by the resurrection of the Christ, he walks towards the house of God Father.

Monserrate’s viacrucis, in addition to representing the passion of Christ with beautiful images brought from Florence (Italy), more than 60 years ago, it allows us to ascend in company of Christ and, contemplating the native nature of the sub- moorland, to arrive to the Sanctuary, place where the Lord is alive in Eucharist and yearn every day for the definitive encounter with God in heaven.
