The Via Lucis Devotion

The Via Lucis Devotion, also known as the Way of the Light, focuses on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the events following it. It serves as a counterpart to the more widely known Via Crucis or Stations of the Cross, which meditates on Jesus' Passion and Crucifixion.

Produced by the Salesian community in Battersea, this beautiful set of videos focussing on 14 Resurrection stations, with scripture prayer and reflection. Each station last about seven minutes. The script was written by Fr David O'Malley SDB. The video production was done by Fr Anthony Lobo.

Fr David O'Malley writes: "The resource is designed for solo use or as a group focus for parish meetings during Eastertide. It can be viewed on a laptop, projected on a screen or accessed on a mobile phone.

"The core idea of this devotion is that like the cross, the Resurrection is a regular experience in our lives. The devotion encourages people to recognise 'little resurrections', moments of transfiguration, insights and energy that come with the Risen Christ.

"Our daily journey of faith does not stop with an empty tomb and it is all too easy today to be caught up into darkness and pessimism, as if Christ has not risen. This devotion is an antidote to despair and an invitation to hope on the journey to Pentecost and the energy of The Spirit."
