S12E15: Our Lives, Crucified

Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Gabriel the Archangel, offers prayers for Austin and his family, who were in a car wreck on Christmas Eve, and he is currently wheelchair bound. We offer the prayers of the sick for his perfect healing and the care and health of his entire family. Today's reflection draws us near to a bit of mysticism, as we travel through the Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross, and the persons each Word addresses and for whom each is spoken - from the crucifiers of Christ, which we all are in sin, to the repentant thief, whom we become in repentance, to the Blessed Mother and St. John, models for those whom we are called to become as Christians, to Christ Himself as we perfect our Christian lives. May these last two weeks of Lent be opportunity enough for us to discover who we are and where we stand in relation to the Crucified Christ.
