Stations of the Cross
From Fr. Z:
Here is a reading of the Via Crucis, the Way of the Cross, composed by Joseph Card. Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, for the 2005 Good Friday observance at the Colosseum in Rome.
Also, for your Lenten spiritual warfare, here are two versions the popular Via Crucis by St. Alphonsus Liguori. One version is plain, just my voice. The other is the same voice recording, but with the Gregorian chant Sequence Stabat Mater interlaced between the stations.

St. Alphonsus LiguoriFor your Lenten spiritual warfare, here are two version of the Via Crucis, the Way or Stations of the Cross, by St. Alphonsus Liguori.
If people a truly impeded from going to a church, chapel or place where the Stations have been formally set up (which is a requirement for the indulgence to be gained) you can still gain an indulgence by spending at least a half hour in meditation on the Cross and death of the Lord. This recording might be of help.
One version is plain, just my voice. The other is the same voice recording, but with the Gregorian chant Sequence Stabat Mater interlaced between the stations.
Joseph Card. RatzingerHere is a reading of the Via Crucis, the Way of the Cross, composed by Joseph Card. Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, for the 2005 Good Friday observance at the Colosseum in Rome.
The text is English, though I use Latin responses and prayers between the Stations.http://www.wdtprs.com/prayercazt/080318_stations_ratzinger.mp3

Reader Tom sent in a link to a rather well-designed site, St. Irenaeus Ministries, that really looks like a promising source of excellent Catholic audio. Since Lent is drawing to a close, I figured the following audio files would be helpful:
Here are some recordings of the stations of the cross for your Lenten growth:Here’s how J.S. Bach in his St. Matthew Passion renders the moment on the Cross where Christ says, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” to the following words: [Listen to the mp3 segment here, set to the following words:]
Be near me, Lord, when dying
O part not you from me!
And to my succor flying,
Come, Lord, and set me free!
And when my heart must languish
In death’s last awful throe,
Release me from my anguish,
By your own pain and woe.
Here’s the same moment as Bach renders it in his St. John Passion.
