The Global NewsWatch Media & Communications Ltd, a Multi-Media and Communications Organisation and managers of the News Portal newswatchgh.com in partnership with GBC’s Uniiq 95.7 FM, has put together a spiritual radio programme – 14 Stations of the Cross.
The programme aims at praying for the Lord, through His sorrowful passion to intercede for Ghana and the world in the wake of the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus.
The programme which airs every Friday until Good Friday comes to its audience and for that matter the world through the medium of Radio at 7:30 pm.
It enjoins the listener to meditate on the sufferings of Jesus Christ on his way to Mount Calvary where he was to have been crucified.
Throwing light on the significance of the programme, Co-Founder and Executive Director in charge of Business, Finance and Administration at Global NewsWatch Media & Communications Ltd, Robert Dela Yao Mawuenyegah, said the Stations of the Cross as spiritual prayers will complement the efforts of religious groups in seeking divine intervention in the fight against the virus.
”This live radio spiritual prayer is expected to complement the many virtual Christian and religious activities in the Country. It is an opportunity to even get more closer to our God through the Sorrowful Way of the Cross to seek the mercy and Grace of God,” he stated.
“We implore all religious men and women to follow solemnly the Journey of Jesus to Calvary. We are hopeful he will rescue His people from this pandemic,” he added.
The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, Via Crucis, and Via Dolorosa is a devotion that reflects on Jesus’ final days on Earth—from being condemned to death to dying on the cross and being placed in the tomb.
It consists of a series of 14 artistic renderings that typically line the interior walls of every Catholic Church. These illustrations capture key moments during Jesus’ journey to His death on Good Friday.
