Now, this 15th Station of the Cross – the Resurrection – isn’t brand new, although it’s being played that way in some places. Back fifteen or more years ago, it started being suggested and used. I believe it was inspired by something John Paul II said or did, but I’m not sure . (Not to be confused with John Paul II"s alternative, Scripture-based Way of the Cross<\/a>, upon which Michael and I based this.)<\/a><\/p>\n
