This pious exercise already existed in embryonic form since the 16th century, while its present form dates from the 19th century.Its fundamental intuition is a reflection on the life of Our Lady from the prophecy of Simeon (cf. Lk 2:34-35) to the death and burial of her Son, in terms of a journey in faith and sorrow: this journey is articulated in seven “stations” corresponding to the “seven dolors” of the Mother of Our Savior.(From the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, The Via Matris, 136.)No ReconciliationThe Resurrection of the Lord:Easter Vigil in the Holy Night of EasterSaturday, April 4, 8:30pmEaster Sunday Masses will follow the regular Sunday Mass schedule.Campus Closures:Little Flower Administration Office will be closed April 3 & 6.
