Greetings, friends and readers. Today I offer you four resources for prayer and reflection on this Good Friday.
The first is the conclusion of my seven-part video series on the Seven Last Words of Jesus. If you missed any of them, they are all available here on my blog, of course. Today’s message is from the gospel of Luke and gives us Jesus’ last words to his father at the very moment of his death.
“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Luke 23: 44-46
Next up is a short poem and image for reflection, another in the daily series I have been offering during this time of the pandemic.
Below is a new music video for an older song, composed back in 2002 with my friend and collaborator, Phil Cooper, “Consider the Nails.”
Finally, if you’re available this afternoon at 3 p.m. (Central Time), I will be presenting “Crossroads: Stations of the Cross for a Time of Change” on Facebook Live from the Marianist Retreat and Conference Center, just outside of St. Louis. If you want to join in and pray with us live (or view it afterwards at your leisure), you can find the Center’s Facebook page here:
Blessed Triduum and a Happy Easter to you all!

Thank you, Gerry and Sue, for joining me once more.
Thanks Steve for an inspiring series. This is really great stuff. The point I take, especially at this time,is that we need each other. “We wash each others feet because they need washing not because of who they are or who we are” We here are so grateful for caring neighbours. May God bless you and keep you safe Steve.
