Show 251: The Stations of The Cross

THE WAY OF THE CROSS It is said that the Way of the Cross owes its origin to the Mother of God. 1. The Way of the Cross is the name given to the fourteen stations which depict the way along which Our Redeemer passed, bearing His cross, from Pilate's palace to Mount Calvary. 2. The manner of performing the Way of the Cross is to go from one station to another, making meanwhile a meditation on Our Lord's Passion. 3. By performing the Way of the Cross large indulgences may be gained; we also obtain contrition for sin and are in cited to the practice of virtue. 4. If we are prevented from making the Way of the Cross, we can gain the indulgence by reciting the Our Father, Hail Mary, and the Gloria twenty times, holding meanwhile a crucifix blessed for the stations in our hand.

Show 249: Questions about Marriage, Divorce and Christian Burial

1. Christian burial is a solemn service accompanied by special ceremonies, in which the remains of a departed Catholic are carried in procession to the place of interment 2. The special ceremonies customary at Christian obsequies are all significant of our prayer that God may have mercy on the soul of the deceased. 3. Christian obsequies are conducted with so much solemnity, because it is well pleasing to God that we should show reverence to the mortal remains of those who have departed this life in the grace of God. 4. Cremation is condemned by the Church as being an abominable abuse. 5. Christian burial is denied to the unbaptized, to non-Catholics, and to Catholics who are known to have died in mortal sin.
