Pope Leo's Cross Procession: A Spiritual Journey

0:00It's April 3rd. Welcome to Global News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. Pope Leo XIV that sets a carry of wooden cross through all 14 stations of the way of the cross at the Colosseum this good Friday. It's as first as Pontiff, and the first time in decades a Pope has done the full route symbolizing Christ's suffering in today's world. Earlier this week, Leo shared that this act lets him carry global suffering in his prayers, speaking as a spiritual leader folks everywhere look to. At 70 years old, he's in top shape from tennis, swimming, and gym workouts he kept up before taking the role. Past popes handled it differently. John Paul II did the whole thing from 1979 until his hip surgery in 1995. Benedict XVI stuck to the first station, and Francis joined the procession until health issues stopped him last year. This year's meditations come from Father Francesco Patton, former custodian of Holy Landsites, stressing faith put into real world action. Charles will pack the Colosseum area for the event that recalls Jesus' final hours

1:03up to the Palatine Hill. Leo wraps Easter weekend presiding over the vigil in St. Peter's Square Saturday night, then Sunday Mass with his Erby at Orby Blessing to Rome, and the world, kicking off the big Resurrection celebration.
