The Second Vatican Council in the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy(art.13) directs that popular devotions be in some fashion derived from the Sacred Liturgy and lead back to te Liturgy. Since the Liturgy is so Scriptural it would seem tht popular devotions should also incorporate Scripture more abundantly into their exercises.

A "fifteen station" of the Resurrection is added, since the Passion of Christ is meaningless unless the Resurrection is kept in mind. Passion, Death, and Resurrection is the new Passover, from the death of sin to the life of freedom in love.

A plenary indulgence may be gained by praying the Stations of the Cross. If, for some reasonable cause, the Stations are interrupted, a partial indulgence may be gained for each Station.
