On this holy day, we spiritually gather with Mary, the Mother of our Lord (and a small
number of others) at the foot of the Cross. The Cross of Jesus. As He died, horribly,
painfully, died for us.
For many centuries, Christians have contemplated seven things that Jesus said from that
Cross, these known as the Seven Last Words of Christ.
With the Saints in heaven and with all our brothers and sisters in Christ yet on Earth, we
gather. At a place called Calvary. At the foot of the Cross. And hear the words of Our
Lord.
