Inspirational Seven last words of Jesus on the Cross 1.Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing. Lk. 23: 34. - Even on the cross, Jesus thinks of others. Not only that, he justifies those who crucified him saying to his Father they do not know what they are doing. -We need forgiveness, and Jesus forgives us. Likewise he wants that we forgive as well these who may offend us. 2. Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise. Lk.23:43 - What a wonderful promise of his company forever. Like the thief, today we are all invited, in fact expected that we humble ourselves, acknowledge our sinfulness and weaknesses before the Lord, expressing our faith in him, and growing in hope that there is something greater reserved for us beyond our crosses in life. 3. Woman, here is your son; Here is your mother. Jn. 19: 26-27 - He doesnt want to leave us on our own. Today the church represents our mother.
