On Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion, some of the priests and deacons in the area of my local parish were asked to give meditations on the seven last words of Christ. These “last words” are so named because they consist of key phrases Jesus spoke from the cross. These historical words of the divine and human Person of Christ, spoken in the context of his passion and death, have inexhaustible meaning both theologically and in the everyday circumstances of our lives. I was asked to give my meditation on Christ’s second last word: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” The following podcast is a reconstruction of that meditation.

Quote of The Day

“We have a Catholic will when we love God and obey God, love the Church and obey the Church. We have a Catholic intellect when we live consciously in the presence of the realities that God through His Church has revealed”—Frank Sheed

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
