The Seven Last Words of Jesus
1. Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.
2. Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.
3. Woman, behold your son.
Behold your Mother.
4. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
5. I thirst.
6. It is finished.
7. Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.
These are the seven last phrases spoken by Jesus before his death. This book is a mediation on these last words of Jesus, which is a common practice during the season of Lent and during Holy Week. I have read this book before. It was a good practice to read in preparation for the holy season of Lent. It is a very easy read and is highly recommended.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
