This year St. Rose of Lima will again offer a very special prayer service, led by parishioners, reflecting on the last words that Christ spoke from the cross. Gathered from the four Gospels, these "Seven Last Words" allow us to reflect more fully and more deeply on the meaning of Christ's Passion. During this prayer service, selected parishioners will each share a personal reflection, written in response to one of the phrases that Jesus spoke from the cross. With reflective music and hymns sung in between the reflections, this prayer service is a moving witness of faith to our parish. As our chosen participants will spend much of the Lenten season reflecting on their particular passage, we ask that you keep them in your prayers throughout Lent as they seek to go deeper with these last words of Christ. Too, we invite you to support them and deepen your connection with Christ's "seven last words," by joining us Palm Sunday evening. We are confident that you will find this beautiful prayer service a moving way to enter into Holy Week.
