Join the @stjosemariainst this Lent as each Friday Join the @stjosemariainst this Lent as each Friday we reflect on “The Seven Last Words of Christ”—a weekly devotional journey into the love of Jesus revealed from the Cross.

--
FOURTH WORD | Mark 15:34 

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 

GOSPEL | Mark 15:33 – 34

“At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?’ which is translated, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’” 

MEDITATION | Friends of God, no. 304 

“We may even imagine that Our Lord does not hear us; that we are being deluded, that all we hear is the monologue of our own voice. We find ourselves, as it were, without support on earth and abandoned by heaven. Nevertheless, we have a real and practical horror of sin, even venial sin. With the stubbornness of the Canaanite woman, we go down on our knees as she did, adoring him and imploring ‘Lord, help me’. The darkness will vanish, vanquished by the light of Love.” 

PAUSE + REFLECT

Who in my life can I lift up in prayer to free them from the power of darkness and entrust them to the light of Christ?
