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.
--
SECOND WORD | Luke 23:43 
“Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” 
GOSPEL | Luke 23:39 - 43
“Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, ‘Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us.’ The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, ‘Have you no fear of God, for  you are subject to the same condemnation? And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He replied to him, ‘Amen, I say to you, today, you will be with me in Paradise.’” 
MEDITATION |Christ is Passing By, no.95 
“Once we realize this, we are immediately reminded of our wretchedness and our personal failings. But they should not dishearten us; we should not become pessimistic and put our ideals aside. Our Lord is calling us, in our present state, to share his life and make an effort to be holy. I know holiness can sound like an empty word. Too many people think it is unattainable, something to do with ascetical theology – but not a real goal for them, a living reality.”
PAUSE + REFLECT
What obstacles do I need to remove to more fully allow the work of the Holy Spirit to mold me into the image of Christ?
