"It is for your good that I am going away..." (John 16,7). What does Via Crucis mean?

On the one hand, many feel challenged by the "Via Crucis of Jesus" to sympathise - in the sense of the song: "Lass mich deine Leiden singen, dir des Mittleids Opfer bringen". On the other hand, it is often presented as the reflection of the deep abysmalness of human failure. Finally, it is often associated with the totally incomprehensible speech of a God who must be reconciled through such a sacrifice.

The reflection with Prof. em. Arnold Stiglmair on the "Via Crucis" by Peppi Tischler (1992) would like to enable a different understanding of the Via Crucis on the basis of biblical texts.
