On the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and the Last Day of the Year of Saint Joseph, we welcome Fr Matthias Sasko of the Franciscans of the Immaculate with some insight into the life of St Joseph and how to approach a relationship with him.
As we head through Lent towards Good Friday and then onto Easter. It can be power to meditate on what is called the 'Last 7 Words of Christ'.
1) Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
2) Today you will be with me in paradise.
3) Woman, behold, thy son! Behold, thy mother!
4) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
5) I thirst.
6) It is finished.
7) Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.
