Saint John Nepomuk – honored here with a statue on St. John's Rock – was a priest (Vicar General to the Archbishop) in Bohemia who was martyred in Prague in 1393. He was thrown from the Charles Bridge in Prague into the Vltava River by royal order and drowned. His statue can still often be found on or near many bridges today. He is not only considered a popular "bridge saint" but is also the patron saint of the seal of confession. In many depictions of him, he holds a cross in one hand, and sometimes places a finger to his lips with the other as a sign of silence (about what was heard during confession). The feast day of Saint John Nepomuk in the liturgical calendar is March 20.

“The Stations of the Cross lead right through the streets of our everyday lives. We, Lord, usually walk in the opposite direction to yours. It is precisely in this way that we might see your face, that we might meet your gaze. We walk our usual paths and you come towards us. Your eyes look into our hearts. Then we hesitate to continue on our way, as if nothing had happened. We can turn around, look at you, follow you. We can put ourselves in your shoes and sense that it is better to change direction. (…) The Via Crucis is the prayer of those who are in motion. It interrupts our usual paths so that we may move from weariness to joy. It is true that the path of Jesus costs us something: In this world, where everything is calculated, generosity comes at a high price. But in surrender, everything blossoms anew: A city divided into factions and torn apart by conflict approaches reconciliation; a withered religiosity rediscovers the fruitfulness of God's promises; even a A heart of stone can be transformed into a heart of flesh. We need only listen to the invitation, “Come and follow me!” (cf. Mark 10:21), and trust in that loving gaze. (Prayer for the Stations of the Cross with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, Good Friday 2024)
