Synopsis

With more than three million copies sold of the English edition of Everyone's Way of the Cross, the Spanish edition of this perennial bestseller, El Vía Crucis Para Todos, will find a welcome home with the more than thirty million Latino Catholics now in the United States.

For almost fifty years, the simple, intimate, and powerful words of Clarence Enzler's perennially bestselling Stations of the Cross booklet have invited readers to grow closer to Christ by embracing the mystery of suffering in the world.

Beautiful, bold commissioned woodcuts by Annika Nelson and her mother Gertrud Mueller Nelson help us meditate on the passion and death of Christ and to see how Christ is among us--often in unexpected places.

Also available in English and in a large-print edition, this booklet is ideal for private study and for parish-wide distribution for Lenten observance of Stations of the Cross.

Review:

"The Via Crucis, "The path for all to the cross," by Clarence Enzler is a fine model for one of the most popular traditions. This version of the Stations of the Cross is extremely simple and practical; I recommend it for personal or community use." --Most Reverend Ricardo Ramirez, Bishop of Las Cruces
