Seven Words (A Good Friday Meditation)

from Agricolae · host Father Brown

The recording is the full service. The service was a Tenebrae service built around the seven words of Jesus from the cross. The rhythm and theater of the service is Reading, Hymn (which in this case is three verses of a hymn each reading specifically designed for this service), a meditation and the dowsing of a candle (which you can’t see, sorry). A meditation on the seven words from the cross ends up being a different animal than the fuller passion reading. You aren’t really telling the story or reflecting on any of the other characters. It is strictly about what is so important that Jesus says it to us while he is on the cross. I think you might find it surprisingly moving. I always have.

Agricola Publius Cornelius Tacitus The Agricola (Latin: De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae, lit. On the life and character of Julius Agricola) is a book by the Roman historian Tacitus, written c 98, which recounts the life of his father-in-law Gnaeus Julius Agricola, an eminent Roman general. It also covers, briefly, the geography and ethnography of ancient Britain. As in the Germania, Tacitus favorably contrasts the liberty of the native Britons to the corruption and tyranny of the Empire; the book also contains eloquent and vicious polemics against the rapacity and greed of Rome. This translation by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb, was first published in 1877. (Summary from Wikipedia.
