TO:
The University Community
SUBJECT:
University Way of the Cross 2024
It has been a valuable tradition for the University Community to gather during Lent and ponder on the meaning of Christ’s love and self-offering through the Way of the Cross.
All members of our community (students, faculty, professionals, staff, administrators, parents, and alumni) are invited to the University Way of the Cross on Friday, 8 March 2024, at the Loyola Heights campus. The Higher Education unit through the Office of Campus Ministry will lead us in prayer and reflection.
This year’s theme is “Walking the Way of the Cross of Jesus with Mary”. As we look at our Lord, we hold on to our Blessed Mother and like her “may we too open our hearts to a faith that becomes compassion, a faith that identifies with those who are hurting, suffering and forced to bear heavy crosses” (Pope Francis, 15 Sept 2021).
We will begin with the Holy Eucharist at 3:45pm in the Church of the Gesu followed by the Way of the Cross at 4:30pm. We encourage everyone to wear blue and white.
Accompanied by Mary, our Mother, let us walk with the Lord and enter more deeply into the mystery of his saving and transforming love for our world today.
