REFLECTIONS ON THE SEVEN LAST WORDS
THE SEVEN LAST WORDS
The First Word: Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34).
This first word is a word of forgiveness which shows the essence of God in Jesus Christ. How many of us mortals forgive our enemies? Not only our enemies but people who caused us sufferings.
The Second Word: "I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43)
The second word shows the vast mercy of the Lord. It exceeds anything we might imagine. It embraces us, encourages us, heals us no matter who we are, no matter what we have done. There will always be mercy for those who seek for it.
The Third Word: The Third Word: “Dear woman, here is your son.” (John 19:26)
The third word shows that as a Divine Being, he can forgive but as a human being He shows how He cares for His Mother to show to the people that as a Son He did not forget His role to his Mother He is going to leave behind.
The Fourth Word: “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” (Mark 15:34)
The fourth word shows us the human essence of Jesus Christ. When He took the responsibility of saving mankind from sins, He became a Son of Man and not Son of God capable of suffering, experiencing pain and seeking for the care of a loved One.
How many of us cried in the same way when we think that problems seemed to have no solution and sickness has no more cure?
The Fifth Word: “I am thirsty.” (John 19:28)
As a Divine and Human Being, the fifth word has two meanings. He thirsts for the conversion of sinners and His physical body was suffering from heat and exhaustion.
We personally thirst for affection, for justice and for compassion.
The Sixth Word: “It is finished!” (John 19:30)
Jesus' mission is finished, and also His life as a human being. His Divine essence now starts after the death of His physical body.
It just goes to show that our body is not the end of our journey. It is when we leave this body that we enjoy the fruits of the salvation that Jesus died for us.
The Seventh Word: “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” (Luke 24:46)
At the end after the sufferings and seemingly cry of abandonment, He entrust his Spirit to His Father.
In times of crisis, we only have to leave things to God and when we are about to leave and join the Father, are we prepared to say these words?

Station 1 JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH
STATION 1: Jesus Is Condemned To Death
We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
My Lord Jesus Christ:
Your Blessed Mother felt the sting of the sword pierce her heart when her beloved Son was condemned to torture and death. I, too, have felt the pain of being pierced, whenever I am unjustly and cruelly treated, or when I've seen it happen to someone I care deeply about. Help me to experience the Mother's comfort. Help me also to remember in the midst of my pain that You are with me always, and that You will make good come from my sorrows. I offer up my sufferings and unite them to Your Sacred Heart.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Through her heart, His sorrow sharing
All His bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length the sword has passed.
Text Prayers from Cathedral of Mary.

STATION 2: Jesus Takes Up His Cross
We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
My Lord Jesus Christ:
I am carrying a cross ~ a heavy burden ~ right now, and it distresses me. And in fact, there are other troubles bothering me, too. Help me to know which crosses I should let go of because You have already redeemed me from them, and which cross I should carry for the sake of loving others, purifying my soul, and strengthening my relationship with You. Help me also to become aware that You are at my side, holding the larger portion of my cross. I complain about my burdens, and yet, You carried the burden of my sins and those of the whole world. Your pain was much greater than mine. Thank You for caring about me so much!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O, how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother highly blessed
Of the sole Begotten One.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
My Lord Jesus Christ:
You could barely see where You were going, because Your sacred eyes were blurred by Your pain and the blood dripping from the Crown of Thorns. So you stumbled and fell, increasing the pain in Your already-exhausted Body. And I, forgetting what You have done for me, ignore what You have told me about living a holy life, and so I stumble and fall in my walk with You. Forgive me, my Beloved Jesus! Turn my failures into new growth as I unite my stumblings to Your redemptive walk to Calvary.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Christ above in torment hangs
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying, glorious Son.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
My Lord Jesus Christ:
How did You feel when Your eyes met the sorrowing eyes of Your Blessed Mother? How did she manage to handle the sight of her Beloved Son as He endured such horrid sufferings? Help me to draw on the same well of strength from the Holy Spirit as You did and she did when you gazed on each other with such intimate love! Help me also to understand her strong love for me, and that she is right now caring about me and all of my trials, and that in her great motherly love for me, she is praying her most powerful prayers.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Is there one who would not weep,
'whelmed in miseries 'O so deep
Christ's dear Mother to behold.

Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
My Lord Jesus Christ:
Sometimes You ask me to be a Simon. When I endure trials willingly for the sake of loving others, I am carrying Your Cross with You. What a privilege! What an honor! And yet, so often I try to get rid of this Cross; I don't want to help You. I'd rather fight back when someone argues with me. I'd rather stay angry than forgive quickly. I'd rather have others bend to my will instead of accepting the unhappy load of serving their desires. Help me to become more like You, loving my enemies, doing good to those who hurt me, forgiving them unendingly.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Can the human heart refrain
from partaking in her pain
in that Mother's pain untold?

Veronica showed genuine caring for You when she risked the ridicule of the people and the wrath of the soldiers in order to wipe Your sacred face. Help me to love You so much that I'd do anything for You, no matter what others think of me. And since You said that whatever I do to the least of the people, I do unto You, help me also to love everyone so much that I willingly and eagerly serve their needs no matter how I feel about it.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled
She beheld her tender Child
All with bloody scourges rent.

My Lord Jesus Christ:
How tired and pain-wracked Your Sacred Body must have been when You fell a second time! You could have chosen to die right then and there, rather than go on to face more suffering and that most gruesome death on the Cross. And yet, You chose to find more strength so that You could go all the way to Calvary. I offer up to You all those times when I want to quit dealing with my own problems, all those times when I want to quit trying, all those times when I want quit facing more difficulties and find a way out. Lord Jesus, be the strength and patience and endurance that I need to keep on walking through my pain and suffering.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
For the sins of His own nation
Saw Him hang in desolation
Till His spirit forth He sent.

But in truth, You are always with me. Help me to remember to turn to You whenever I am suffering, whenever I am upset, whenever I need a shoulder to cry on. You are the only true source of joy and peace; teach me to seek these only from You, and then I will experience joy in the midst of sorrow and peace in the midst of turmoil.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Where did You get the strength to get up after Your third fall? How could You love me so much that You searched for that strength and found it, knowing that this would take you to Your greatest act of love for me on the Cross? I barely understand it! I have done so much to hurt You by hurting the people around me. I don't mean to hurt them and You, but I am motivated by selfishness; I don't truly care about the needs and desires and feelings of others as much as I care about my own. Even so, You cared about me more than You cared about Yourself ... all the way to the Cross. Help me to more fully appreciate and imitate this example of true love.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Make me feel as You have felt,
Make my soul to go and melt
With the love of Christ, my Lord.

When You suffered through Your final hours, You had nothing left but love for me and for everyone else who ever lived and ever will live. You'd been stripped of Your clothes, Your dignity, Your freedom. In contrast, I am such a wretch! I pride myself for my fashionable clothes. I surround myself with more possessions than I have time to use. I keep myself so busy reaching my goals that I have too little time to show caring for others. Help me to put everything in my life into right priority. Help me to compare whatever I do with what You've done, not to feel inferior but to feel inspired. Change me, O Lord!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Holy Mother, pierce me through
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Savior crucified.

When others have demanded from me what was difficult or unpleasant to give, they have nailed me again. Usually, I struggle to come down off that Cross; help me to discover the sweetness of being joined to Your redemptive suffering, so that I more readily choose the way of love instead of the easier road of selfishness.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Let me share with you His pain
Who for all our sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.

I want to die with You. I want to die to all my selfishness, all my uncaring tendencies, all my desires and decisions and control, so that what remains is only Your love at work in me. Thank You for accepting this prayer. I am in Your hands. I am in Your heart.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Mourning Him who mourned with me,

The Blessed Mother knows who I am and what I have done, because my love for You as connected me to her. She wept over Your sufferings, and yet she was pleased that You had followed the Father's plan. So, too, she weeps with me in my sufferings and she is pleased with me for obeying the Father's call to love others unconditionally. Help me to find rest in her motherly care.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Your love has redeemed me. Your love has taken my pain and enhanced it with hope. My suffering is not futile when I endure it for love of You and for love of others. Help me to more fully understand this, and let this motivate me toward greater imitation of You, all the way to the Cross and the glorious Resurrection that always follows!

Maundy Thursday Reflections-Prayer at the Garden of Ghetsemane
photocredit: family webshots
32 Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
34 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."
35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36 And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
38 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39 Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.
40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
41 Then He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 "Rise up, let us go. See, My betrayer is at hand."

Maundy Thursday Reflections-Last Supper
The Last Supper
\
photocredit from Jesus Life in Pictures
12 And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the passover?” 13 And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, say to the householder, ‘The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.
17 And when it was evening he came with the twelve. 18 And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” 19 They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20 He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21 For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
22 And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24 And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 Truly, I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Maundy Thursday Reflections-Jesus' Betrayal by Judas
Betrayal of Jesus by Judas
photocredit family webshots
The tragic story of the death begins with the betrayal of Jesus by His close friend - none other than Judas Iscariot. The prophecy is recorded by the psalmist, and the historical event by Matthew.
"Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me." (Psalm 41:9)
"As they were eating, He said, 'Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.' Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, 'Surely not I, Lord?' And He answered, 'He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.' And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, 'Surely it is not I, Rabbi?' Jesus said to him, 'You have said it yourself.'" (Matthew 26:21-25)

Reflections on Maundy Thursday-Washing of the Feet

The feast of Maundy (or Holy) Thursday solemnly commemorates the institution of the Eucharist.
Washing of the Feet
Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
