The Knights in Chennai (India) were organizing a special Way of the Cross for our faithful every Friday in lent. They were organizing a Penitential Walk Pilgrimage from our Chapel to St. Thomas Mount.

Stations of the Cross:
The knights organized special “Way of the Cross” every Friday in Lent for our community in Chennai, we prayed the meditations by St. Alphonsus Liguori.

Penitential Walk in Reparation for the sacrileges against the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar:
The Knights of the Militia Immaculatae in Chennai demonstrated their love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament by a penitential walk from Royapettah to St. Thomas Mount (the Place where St. Thomas was martyred) it was approximately 12 KMs (7.5 miles), all through the way we prayed the Rosary, Litanies and sang hymns, it was a heartening sight to see people reverence the Holy Cross that we were carrying, while some blest themselves with the sign of the Cross and stood up, others just paved the way for us to pass through. The walk culminated with the “Way of the Cross” from the foot of St. Thomas Mount to the church atop the hill. This was also a humbling experience for us knights as we walked through the busy roads of Chennai bearing witness to our crucified Lord.

Adoramus te, Christe,
et benedicimus tibi,
quia per sanctam crucem tuam
redemisti mundum.
Qui passus es pro nobis,
Domine, Domine, miserere nobis.
