Tips for a Happy Summer

All honest human activities can be offered to God, sanctified, and turned into a means and opportunity for apostolate. Work, but also rest, which we need in order to renew our strength so that we can support our families and serve society.

Commentaries on Holy Week | Tuesday

The Gospel of today’s Mass ends with the announcement that the apostles will desert Jesus during the Passion. When Simon Peter, filled with presumption, tells him that I will lay down my life for you. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not […]

“It is finished.” (Jn 19:30) The “Seven Las “It is finished.” (Jn 19:30)

The “Seven Last Words of Christ” is a beloved devotion of the Church that invites us to recall and meditate on Jesus’ last words as he hung on the cross. 

Holy Week, especially Good Friday, is an ideal time to make use of this devotion for personal prayer: to silently and prayerfully contemplate Jesus’s passion and death, to be united to him in his suffering, and to dwell on the strength and mercy of his love.

Available as a free digital PDF download, the Seven Last Words of Christ devotional from the St. Josemaria Institute accompanies each “word” with the corresponding Gospel passage and a reflection and prayer from St. Josemaria Escriva.
