Join the @stjosemariainst this Lent as we reflect Join the @stjosemariainst this Lent as we reflect on “The Seven Last Words of Christ”—a weekly devotional journey into the love of Jesus revealed from the Cross. Each Friday, we share a short excerpt and a reflection question to guide your prayer and help you enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ’s Passion.
--
FIRST WORD |Luke 23:24 
“Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.” 
GOSPEL |Luke 23:33-34
“When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left. [Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.’] They divided his garments by casting lots.” 
MEDITATION |Christ is Passing By, no.95 
“Christ’s generous self-sacrifice is a challenge to sin. We find it hard to accept the reality of sin, although its existence is undeniable. Sin is the mystery of evil, the inexplicable evil of the creature whose pride leads him to rise up against God. The story is as old as mankind.” 
PAUSE + REFLECT
How do I make efforts to seek out and accept the mercy of Our Lord through prayer and the sacrament of Penance?
