Lenten reflections on Jesus’ last words

During this season of Lent, the Sisters of Mercy are sharing reflections on the seven last words of Jesus, uttered as he hung on the cross on Good Friday. Gathered from the four Gospels, we hear Jesus speaking to God, to his mother, his disciples, to a penitent thief—and to us, today—of forgiveness, redemption and complete surrender to the will of God. The reflection series began on Ash Wednesday and continues with a new reflection each Friday. You can find the reflections here.
