From the Cross, he invites us to share in his sacrifice, so that we may in turn share in his glory.

Holy Week intensifies our Lenten spiritual exercises, focusing us particularly on Christ’s Passion. From the Cross, he invites us to share in his sacrifice, so that we may in turn share in his glory.
The Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross provide us a particularly direct invitation and can guide our meditation during these holy days.
