In this sixth meditation of our Lenten series on the Seven Last Words of Christ, Fr. Eric Nicolai reflects on Jesus’ words: “It is finished.” In this final act of obedience, Christ completes the saving work entrusted to him by the Father and reveals the fullness of his love poured out on the Cross.  

Fr. Nicolai invites us to consider how our own lives are part of this work of redemption and to live each day with purpose, offering our actions and sacrifices to God. 

PAUSE & REFLECT 

• Do I set apart moments of prayer consistently throughout my day to consider the greatness of God’s love for me?   
• Do I console Our Lord with prayer and penance as an act of reparation for offenses against God?
