(St. John of the Cross by Salvador Dali, 1951)Today is Good Friday and together with Christians around the world we remember the fateful events that led to Golgotha and the Cross. The church in Iraan will be open from Noon - 3:00 p.m. for prayer and meditation.
The Seven Last Words of Christ, the last seven expressions of Jesus on the Cross recorded in Scripture. Ponder these words today as you experience the Passion of Christ.
The First Word: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." - Luke 23:34
The Second Word: "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." - Luke 23:43
The Third Word: "Jesus said to His mother, 'Woman, this is your son.' Then He said to the disciple: 'This is your mother.'" - John 19:26-27
The Fourth Word: "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?" - Mark 15:34 and Matthew 27:46
The Fifth Word: "I thirst." - John 19:28
The Sixth Word: "When Jesus had received the wine, He said, 'It is finished'; and He bowed His head and handed over the spirit." - John 19:30
The Seventh Word: "Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit.'" - Luke 23:46
