On 16th April 2019, the ADMA members of Benaulim Unit, with their children, some friends, few Salesian Co-operators, accompanied by Sr. Antonieta Alemao FMA, organized the Way of the Cross at Sulcorna-Goa. Fr. Bernardino Da Almeida SDB, spoke to them on the poignant parable of the Prodigal Son and the Forgiving Father. They moved out of the chapel all the way praying the Sorrowful Mysteries and carrying palm leaves, and taking turns to carry the Cross up to the mountain. At various Stations, they did symbolic gestures: piercing the palm leaves with nails; applying ashes on the forehead; wiping their face with the towel; nailing the palm leaves on the Cross; decorating the Cross with flowers; lighting incense sticks around the Cross at the 12th Station.
They wound up near the miraculous statue of Mary Help of Christians, with a blessing from Fr. Bernardino, thanks to whom they had a unique and significant Lenten experience.
