The Pope confided Wednesday that he carries the Way of the Cross with him always.

"Walking with Mary, behind Jesus carrying the cross, is the school of Christian life: there you learn patient, silent and concrete love. I let you in on a secret: I really like to pray the Way of the Cross, because it is to go with Mary behind Jesus. And I always carry with me, to do it at any time, a pocket-sized Way of the Cross, given to me by someone in Buenos Aires. And when I have time I take and follow the Via Crucis. I pray the Via Crucis, because it is to follow Jesus with Mary on the path of the cross, where he gave his life for us, for our redemption. In the Way of the Cross, one learns patient, silent and concrete love."
