Walking the Way of the Cross with the Poor: Sister Eugenia Bonetti's Meditations

Long-time readers of this blog will recognize Sister Eugenia Bonetti as a Consolata Missionary who is very involved in anti-human trafficking ministries.  This year, Pope Francis invited Sister Eugenia to prepare the meditations for the Way of the Cross at the Colosseum on Good Friday.  Those meditations are available here.  Drawing on her long experience of fighting human trafficking, Sister Eugenia's meditations focus on "Walk[ing] this via dolorosa in union with the poor, the outcast of our societies, and all those who are enduring crucifixions as victims of our narrowmindedness, our institutions and our laws, our blindness and selfishness, but especially our indifference and hardness of heart" (from the Introduction).
