The Seven Last Words

The words of a dying man are always remembered by his friends and family. Join Cardinal Seán to remember these last words Jesus spoke on the cross — to God the Father, to the criminal beside him, to his beloved disciple, to his mother, and to us. It is on the cross that Jesus preaches his greatest sermon of love.

Reflection Questions
  1. Do you hold Jesus' last words dearly like a loved one's final words?
  2. Do you feel like God has abandoned you during this difficult time? If so, how? Cry out to him like Jesus did.
  3. What do you feel you have left "undone"? How can you be ready to say, "It is finished"?
