ENTERING INTO THE 7 LAST WORDS OF JESUS AND MARY
There is so much to contemplate in considering the words of Jesus and Mary.

May they be a grace to you!

"The last words someone speaks before their death are important. This must be especially true for the Jesus’ last words. The Words of Jesus spoken in agony from the Cross are steeped in meaning and power, and provide us with a means of looking directly into Our Savior’s Heart – into the depth of His love for us. While utilizing the insight gained from the saints and teachers of the Church, this day also seeks to provide an opportunity to reflect on what Jesus is saying to us through these Words. For every Word spoken by Christ is living and effective and has the power to transform us, as it did Mother Teresa, whose life became consumed with seeking to fulfill Jesus' cry "I Thirst!"

"My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid;
for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. (Luke 1:46-55)
