Stations in the streets of Rome

On Good Friday night, while the Via Crucis was taking place in the Colosseum in Rome, the Papal Almoner (the one responsible for the distribution of funds for the Pope's charitable work), along with some volunteers and some of the homeless who are guests at the Gift of Mercy shelter made their way through the streets of Rome, in spiritual union with the Via Crucis which was being celebrated by the Pope.

As a concrete act of charity, they distributed sleeping bags and small gifts from the Holy Father.  In this way, they made their own Via Crucis through the streets of Rome, stopping at approximately 100 stations.  Their mission continued until after midnight local time.
