In practice.

Although the traditional Stations of the Cross continue to be a popular devotion, especially during Lent, some have given the ancient prayer a contemporary twist to connect it to the demands of justice in our world.

For 23 years the 8th Day Center in Chicago has sponsored a walk for justice with stops at downtown sites and reflections on contemporary social issues. On the web the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development has created stations focused on the issue of Third World debt at www.cafod.org. An Australian diocese remembers those suffering today on its "Web of the Cross" at www.vicnet.net.au/~cardoner/webcross.
