Statements by Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes after the Holy Penitential Via Crucis
I believe it is a demonstration that our Catholic People, especially these pilgrim people, and our Archdiocese, live their gratitude.
TL;DR
- The Catholic community and the Archdiocese demonstrated gratitude and a penitential spirit through a Holy Via Crucis.
- Thousands of people, some walking for hours, gathered to express love and affection for Christ.
- The event emphasized seeing people with love, not hate or resentment, as taught by Pope Francis.
- Cardinal Brenes thanked priests, laity, and media personnel for their efforts and coverage.
- An estimated 25,000 to 30,000 people participated, showing hearts full of joy and peace.
- Peace is built from converted hearts, and the community looks forward to celebrating the Resurrection.
- The images from the event were shared with the Archdiocese, the Country, and the World.
