The Seven Words of our Lord on the Cross
"Seven pronouncements were made by Our Lord in His
passion on the Cross. They were a lifeblood for us all. At very few instances did He talk during His trial or while
being tortured and reviled. He forfeited His own right, and
conceded His self-respect. 'Love does not seek its own'
(1 Cor. 13:5).
But while on the Cross, He spoke out, when it behooved Him
to speak. He spoke out for our sake, our benefit and salvation.
Each word had its own impact. "
