Jesus' cry boldly confirms his divine Sonship and affirms that His enemies have not taken His life, but that He has freely given it to save us. REFLECTIONS -How can I do the will of God, offering my life to Him? -How can I grow in understanding that I am a beloved child of God?

By His death, Jesus finishes His mission to defeat sin and death, restore our relationship with the Father, and open the gates of Heaven to us. REFLECTION -How can I grow in spiritual perseverance, remembering to pray daily, read the Bible, and deepen my relationship with God?

Greater than Jesus' physical thirst is His thirst for us. He wants us to know and love Him so we can spend eternity with Him. REFLECTIONS -How can I satisfy Christ’s thirst for souls by evangelizing? Who are 3 people I can invite to Mass? -How can I deepen my thirst for Jesus?

Despite His human feelings of abandonment, Jesus knows His Father has not forsaken Him. Instead, Christ abandoned Himself to the Father by freely suffering and dying for us. REFLECTION -When I feel far from God, do I persevere in prayer and trust that He is always there?

Though in agony, Jesus takes care of His mother, his beloved disciple, and us. REFLECTIONS -How can I see others' needs, even when I am suffering? -Are there people close to me who need more kindness and love? -How can I grow in devotion to Mary? When did I last pray the Rosary?

Christ is crucified between 2 criminals. One admits his own guilt, speaks kindly to Christ, and recognizes Him as God. REFLECTIONS Do I pray daily and live in a way that seeks Heaven? In times of stress, do I speak harshly to others? Am I willing to stand up for the innocent?

Join us daily to meditate on the 7 last words of Jesus. After being betrayed, scourged, and nailed to the cross, the first words Jesus speaks are words of forgiveness. REFLECTIONS Have I taken advantage of Christ’s forgiveness in Confession? Are there people I need to forgive?

Happy 60th birthday, @bishophying ! We are grateful for your holy leadership and are praying for you today and always!
