Via Lucis: The Way of Light
-
Stations of the Resurrection, also known by the Latin name 'Via Lucis' (translated into English as 'Way of Light'), are a form of Christian devotion prayer, encouraging meditation upon the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and some of His post-Resurrection appearances as well as other episodes recorded in the New Testament.
In December 2001, the Holy See promulgated a Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, which commended the Via Lucis devotion. "Following the model of the Via Crucis, the faithful process while meditating on the various appearances of Jesus – from his Resurrection to his Ascension – in which he showed his glory to the disciples who awaited the coming of the Holy Spirit (cf. John 14, 26; 16, 13-15; Lk 24, 49), strengthened their faith, brought to completion his teaching on the Kingdom and more closely defined the sacramental and hierarchical structure of the Church. Through the Via Lucis, the faithful recall the central event of the faith – the resurrection of Christ – and their discipleship in virtue of Baptism, the paschal sacrament by which they have passed from the darkness of sin to the bright radiance of the light of grace (cf. Col 1, 13; Eph 5, 8)."
