The devotion of the Via Sacra arose among Christians living in Jerusalem as a form of veneration of the places that were sanctified by the sufferings of our Divine Redeemer.

From the Holy City, this devotional exercise was introduced to Europe and spread throughout the Catholic world.

In 1951, Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, a Brazilian Catholic leader and spiritual master of the founder of the Heralds of the Gospel, Monsignor João Clá Dias, composed a touching meditation on the Way of the Cross, which received repeated approvals from the Holy See and is enriched with many indulgences.

It is precisely this Way of the Cross that we offer you in this e-book.
