After carrying the Cross through all 14 stations of the Way of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome, Pope Leo XIV gave his blessing to all those present—more than 20,000 people who gathered at one of the most iconic monuments of the Eternal City.
Dramatically illuminated by torches, the procession traced the fourteen stations that recall the Passion of Jesus Christ, accompanied by readings and meditations focused on human suffering, injustice, and hope.
The celebration concluded with a final reflection and the blessing for those present—reaffirming the central message of faith, sacrifice, and solidarity that characterizes this rite in one of the most emblematic settings of Roman and Christian history.
