Br. Sam reflects on Jesus' final words on the Cross, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." He draws the connection between our time of pandemic to the final moments on the Cross, reminding us we are not alone. Just as God the Father was with Jesus on the Cross, we too are not alone in times of isolation.

Br. Martin reminds us that Jesus' statement "it is finished" was not just a sigh of relief, that the excruciating pain of the day was over. It was more of an exhale of joy, knowing that His mission was completed successfully.

Br. Joe reflects on Jesus' cry from the Cross to the Father in heaven, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This powerful outcrying is filled with pain and anguish, but it also filled with trust and faith in the Father who promises to bring freedom, salvation, and deliverance.

From the cross, Jesus says to the His Mother, “Woman, behold, your son", and to his beloved disciple John, “Behold, your mother.” Br.

Br. Jason reflects on the second of the seven last words of Jesus, "Amen I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise." He reminds us that heaven isn't just some nice place we will go visit after we die, but it's a living relationship with the Lord that breaks into our world today.

Br. Ken reflects on the first of the "Last Seven Words of Jesus," commenting on the three groups of people who are around the cross at the time of the Lord's passion.
