The Pope Last Updated this on July 3, 2009
July 3: Today is First Friday. As I was reading 'Conference Matter for Religious', I read a chapter on the benefits of making the Stations of the Cross. Indeed, this is one of the easiest devotions today, for all that is required is to be before a Crucifix specially blessed for this purpose. Of course, one cannot go into a church in the hands of heretics, schismatics or heathens and gain the indulgences. In fact, the former requirement was to hold the Crucifix, which We have commuted to making the Stations before a Crucifix specially blessed for the purpose. All that is required is to meditate on the fourteen stations. We like to consider that at each Station, Jesus atoned for some special sin of mine! Let us meditate on teh Stations.
Tomorrow is First Saturday, so let us spend a quarter of an hour in meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary.

Meditation is developing a good thought, taking it to heart, and making it your own to live by. Pope Michael I found this on a piece of paper I was using in a bookmark.
