The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
Spiritual Fruit: Forgiveness & Self-Sacrifice
"Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Then he cried out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last."
Contemplation on The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
Jesus gives His life on the cross for our salvation, offering forgiveness to His executioners and entrusting Mary to Saint John.
As we recite the ten Hail Marys of this decade, we fix our interior gaze upon this mystery of Christ's life. We ask for the grace to embody its spiritual fruit, Forgiveness & Self-Sacrifice, in our daily lives.
Sealing the Decade with the Glory Be
At the close of the ten Hail Marys for this decade, we stand in spirit with the Blessed Mother and offer all our contemplation back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Glory Be (Gloria Patri), acknowledging that all holiness flows from and returns to the Blessed Trinity.
