#CatholicismInFocus #BreakingInTheHabit
The Stations of the Cross was my first favorite thing after discovering Catholicism. Beautiful to focus on exactly what Jesus went through for all of us. And willingly. Amazing.
Thanks Father Casey, for your service in this hard times, and for helping us keeping the fire of Faith alive, God bless you
🇲🇽
We in Puerto Rico have the Stations as a strong Lenten tradition and have been doing the “live” version for over 30 years at our parish. When the Biblical stations were first instituted we adapted that version and was very well received, even by our Protestant brothers . Being that they always emphasize that we Catholics never read the Bible it is a good way of showing that we do . So as we do our Passion play, through the streets in our town it is very comforting to see the respect that EVERYONE has for it . One comment given by a devout Pentecostal woman was that she actually “felt” like she had been there and lived everything in her heart. We consider it a good sign , that reminds people of Jesus in this hustle and bustle world we live in .
Thank you Fr Casey , keep the videos coming !!!!
Being a person raised mainly with Protestant convictions (still have some) I started learning more about Catholicism this year and this is my first time **really** celebrating Easter as my Catholic brothers and sisters do. Thanks Father Casey.
Welcome home brother. Glad to have you
Welcome home. So happy to hear that you have converted to Catholicism. God bless you. 🙏🙏👼😇♥️💙
Marjorie Thomas I haven’t converted to Catholicism but I’m still searching-I appreciate many things about the Catholic faith although I still have some reservations. Thank you I hope you enjoy your Easter and that you stay safe.
@@soneejohn3703 I will pray for you !
@@soneejohn3703 hey bro… don’t convert to Catholicism. Even tho I’m a “Protestant” that was raised in Baptist churches in NYC I feel calling yourself any denomination kinda takes away from the point of all of this. Ash Wednesday is one of the few good things/ things that they do that other denominations miss out on. Keep ur reservations and focus on the most important thing: god himself!
Thank you very much father. Will share this in my small Christian community.

Thank you so much for the information provided Father Casey. Keep up the excellent work. God bless you and keep you safe. 🙏🙏👼😇♥️💙♥️
Please keep my coworkers and I in your prayers. We work in a hospital in DC and some patients have infected with the Chinese / Wuhan Corona virus. My coworkers are panicking about the situation. I'm praying to God to help me, to protect me from getting infected with the COVID 19 virus and keep my family and friends safe from any disease.
God bless you all and keep praying for our protection. God loves us all.... Especially those who follow His law.
Thank you brother, god bless you from Argentina.
Good Friday faces exist in the Philippines because of crises ,It used to be smiling faces.Mass migration.
I love this prayer. I aim to do it everyday but I keep failing.
Am so happy your video answered so many of questions about this practice.
don't be dismayed by failing, because just answering the call to prayer is accepting God in your heart already. God Bless :)
Thank you, Fr. Casey, for your videos! I found your channel during this worldwide confinement and it's been a pleasure ever since!

Thank you so much ❤️! The Holy Spirit led me to set up Stations in my neighborhood that was a bit "watered" down for non- Catholics and for the children. It seemed to be well received
This is awesome history. Thank you so much Father Casey for the video!!!
We Filipinos call the dramatization of the Passion of Christ as "Senákulo". We usually see it every "Semana Santa" (Holy Week). It's a shame that we have the coronavirus and we can't see it this year. Some Filipinos actually flog or crucify themselves...I don't know why they do it even though it is condemned by our local Parishes. Anyways, Happy Holy Week everyone!
Thank you ... I have always wondered about the origins of the "Stations of the Cross".
I love when i help to react to the Passion of the cross. When I did, people tell me that they loved how I made little more powerful.
Filipino churches actually use a different set of stations that goes as far back at the Last Supper through the Ressurection.
1st Station: The Lord’s Supper
2nd Station: Jesus’ Agony at Gethsemani
3rd Station: Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
4th Station: The Crowning with Thorns
5th Station: The Carrying of the Cross
6th Station: The Falling of Jesus
7th Station: Simon of Cyrene
8th Station: The Women of Jerusalem
9th Station: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
10th Station: The Good Criminal
11th Station: Mary and John
12th Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross
13th Station: Jesus is Laid in the Tomb
14th Station: The Resurrection
The Via Luci is done during Easter season. We are still using the Way of the Cross during Fridays of Lenten Season. Via Luci is optional according to St. John Paul II and it is up for the diocese to use them both or use only the old stations of the Cross.
There are some that omit the fall part and replace it wirh Jesus facing Pontius Pilate just so for consistency with Scripture
Why doesn’t this channel have more subscribers?! It’s amazing !!
Good to get the history of a beautiful prayer.
Hi Fr. Casey, blessed Holy Monday (if it can be called it), I did my JH and HS at a Passionist School back in my country El Salvador and never ever have I heard this remarks, thank you for making us Catholics, real Catholics. Be safe!
I love what you said around 7:15 about what is most important is that we remember the Passion Of Our Lord. Another great video, Casey, Bless You Father for your inspirational videos.👍💖✝
Happy priest's day, may the Lord bless and comfort you in your pastoral work.
Thank you father
During the 1960s and before the Lady Chapel in our parish church had a Marian way of the cross with about seven stations. Even in the 1950s I rarely saw it used.
Thank you for this clear presentation.
Thank you
Pray for me father today , my name is suhail =su+hail and I live in dubai.
Blessings . 💗💗💗
Doing the Stations of the Cross is actually one of my favorite Lenten traditions. I get to pray, reflect, travel around a bit to different beautiful churches and see moving artwork (paintings and/or sculptures), and just spend time with my family. The Stations of the Cross for me is every bit a family tradition, too. I actually am a little sad that quarantine doesn't allow for us to do this at this time. But I also appreciate the digital versions that have popped up online. Thank you for your hard work and conncecting with us, Father Casey! Love from the Philippines. :)
I actually love the stations. Another Franciscan brainwave. It’s such a shame we won’t get to walk them this year 😞
happy easter
Very interesting after the Corona When I travel in Jerusalem I will think about this video.
תודה רבה
Let us all pray for the whole world and for the Holy Land (The traditional pray, formulated in 1926 to Our Lady of Palestine\Israel ) O Mary Immaculate, gracious Queen of Heaven and of Earth, behold us prostrate before thy exalted throne. Full of confidence in thy goodness
and in thy boundless power,
we beseech thee to turn a pitying glance upon Palestine,
which more than any other country belongs to thee,
since thou hast graced it with thy birth,
thy virtues and thy sorrows,
and from there hast given the Redeemer to the world.
Obtain for us all that we may serve the Lord
in sanctity and justice during the days of our life,
so that, by the merits of Jesus
and with thy motherly aid,
we may pass at last from this earthly Jerusalem
to the splendors of the heavenly one.
אמן Amen
Aren't there actual station markers installed throughout the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem?
yes, there is.
According to "The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary" from the visions of Mary Catherine Emmerich, "Mary's Way of the Cross has twelve Stations. She paced out all the measurements and John had set up the memorial stones for her. At first they were just rough stones to mark the places, afterwards everything was made more elaborate...Still lower down at the foot of the hill, in a cave, was the Sepulchre in which the Blessed Virgin was buried.". "I saw that the apostles, holy women and other Christians kneeling or lying on their faces, brought out from under their robes, a Y-,shaped cross about a foot long..."I saw the Blessed Virgin being lifted up several times a day to be given nourishment from the spoon. In the evening about seven o'clock she said in her sleep: 'Now James the Greater has come from Spain by Rome with three companions, Timon, Eremensear, and still another'. ..."
Brilliant. And fascinating.
Hey Franciscan fr.casey!!!?yea fransiscan is literally ur middle name.... greetings
Question, if anybody is still in these cpmment sections, how do we know JEsus fell + other things if its not explicitly in the Bible? R there other manuscripts that say?
I speak Spanish and Via Dolorosa literally means Painful Path not sorrowful but maybe in Latin it means sorrowful?
My questions is, should be be following the newer stations or is it okay to continue following the traditional? I teach religion and would hate to think that I'm leading my students in the wrong direction.
I think both ways are fine, as long as they draw you to Christ. The new stations are alright, but there is nothing wrong with sticking with Tradition.
In Christ we have received everything we need to live and grow as Christians.
Read Colossians 2:6-12.
Amen
Interesting video, good to learn the history behind something I had never heard of until last year. Also, why does it not surprise me that there are versions that focus on Mary? Wouldn't the emphasis on Mary take away from the actions of Jesus?
I get your concern, there seems to be so much devotion to Mary in the way many Catholics practice their faith. This one however isn't a devotion to Marty, but rather a devotion to the Passion through the perspective of Mary, similar to the Rosary in a way. Such as John the Apostle accompanied Mary during the passion, so too is that the aim in this form of the devotion. Hope this helps, God Bless :)
Its from the point of view of his mother Mary.
I get all that, but if you are focusing more on how Mary reacted to all of this, the focus is on Mary and not Jesus.

It still focuses on Jesus, just through the lens of Mary.
If you read a diary of someone, say living through the Great Depression, is that book focusing on the Great Depression or the person who wrote the diary? It's their experience of the Great Depression. Through it, you can gain a new perspective of the Great Depression because you're seeing it through a new lens - from a new angle then previously.
No, its about that persons perception of the Great Depression, which is subjective. Does how Mary saw that change what happened?
Jesus is my savior, I love him
Is it appropriate to say invented or developed or created? Sorry i’m asian and eveytime I had an argument with my sisters from other denomination they would always say we just invented it and i would answer nope! Its being developed because it works.
@Bokya Bokya I thought of the same too. But I think Fr. Casey meant by "we invented it...sort of " is the way of devotion by Christians as a tradition started by St. Francis of Assissi, as mentioned in this video. Stations of the Cross is not part of the sacrament but rather as a way of devotion.
people of yt: * askes father casey about the stations of the cross
father casey: ** rubs hands together eagerly
father casey:** "the franciscans made it"
