Study ‘The Seven Last Words’ EWTN Online Learning Series
Did you know the EWTN Online Learning Series has a free Lenten installment?
Father Joseph Mary Wolfe of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word offers participants a pilgrimage that is timely for this penitential season via video reflections.
The accompanying study guide gives much to prayerfully ponder too:
Father, Forgive Them — “We can choose the way of Jesus. We can choose to forgive. … That’s what Jesus did.”
With Me in Paradise — “We hope to one day hear Him say, ‘Today you will be with me in Paradise.’ … Until that time, Jesus is with us every single day in the Eucharist.”
Behold, Your Mother — “Jesus asks us to look to Mary to learn from her. … What sorrows can we say ‘fiat’ with Mary to God for today?”
Why Have You Forsaken Me? — Did you know Jesus recounts the opening of Psalm 22 while on the cross?
I Thirst — “Do you ever think about that? How much the Lord longs for you, waits for you, loves you?”
It Is Accomplished — “He did what the Father had given Him to do.”
I Commend My Spirit — Jesus, in commending his Spirit to the Father, shows us: “The way we live our lives here, especially during our struggles and sufferings, is how we can prove our love, and our trust, and our confidence in God.”
Lenten blessings!
