CHICAGO (RNS) With the blessing of Pope Francis, Cardinal Blase Cupich on Tuesday (April 4) unveiled an anti-violence initiative for this beleaguered city that will be underscored by a Good Friday procession using the traditional stations of Jesus’ way to the cross to commemorate those who have been murdered.

Cupich said he was inviting civic, education and religious leaders and “all people of good will” to take part in the April 14 “Peace Walk” through the heart of the gun-ridden Englewood neighborhood.

He said the pope had promised to include Chicago in his prayers when he leads the Way of Cross procession that day at the Coliseum in Rome.
