 THE PROMISES OF OUR LORD TO THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS
The following 14 promises regarding the Way of the Cross were
given to Bro. Estanislao (1903-1927), a member of the Brothers of the
Christian Schools at Bugedo. According to the Master of Novices, Bro.
Estanislao was a privileged soul who received messages from Heaven. His
spiritual director asked him to write the promises made by Our Lord to
those who have devotion to the Way of the Cross. These promises and the
Brother’s virtues have been favourably recognized by confessors and
theologians.
1. I will grant everything that is asked of Me with faith when making the Way of
the Cross.
2. I promise eternal life to those who from time to time pray the Way of the
Cross.
3. I will follow them everywhere in life, and I will help them especially at the hour
of death.
4. Even if they have more sins than blades of grass in the fields and grains of sand
in the sea, all of these sins will be erased by the Way of the Cross. (This promise
does not eliminate the obligation to confess all mortal sins, and this before receiving
Holy Communion.)
5. Those who pray the Way of the Cross often will have a special glory in Heaven.
6. I will deliver them from Purgatory – indeed, if they go there at all – the first
Tuesday or Friday after their death.
7. I will bless them at each Way of the Cross, and My blessing will follow them
everywhere on earth and, after death, in Heaven for all eternity.
8. At the hour of death. I will not permit the devil to tempt them; I will lift all
power from him in order that they will repose tranquilly in My arms.
9. If they pray with true love, I will make each one of them a living ciborium in
which it will please Me to pour My grace.
10. I will fix My eyes on those who pray the Way of the Cross often; My hands
will always be open to protect them.
11. As I am nailed to the Cross, so also will I always be with those who honour
Me in making the Way of the Cross frequently. STATIONS OF THE CROSS
12. They will never be able to separate themselves from Me, for I will give them
the grace never again to commit a mortal sin.
