Good Friday Seven Last Words Prayer Service, Online on April 2

Each year at 9am on Good Friday, St. Timothy parish offers a wonderful prayer service, led by lay people, and reflecting on the last words that Christ spoke from the cross.  Gathered from the four Gospels, and taken together, these phrases allow us to reflect more fully and more deeply on the meaning of Christ’s Passion.  During this prayer service, seven lay people each share one reflection that they have written in response to one of these phrases that Jesus spoke from the cross, providing a moving witness of faith to our parish.  The service includes reflective music and hymns in between the reflections as well. 

This year marks the 16^th year that St. Timothy’s will have offered this meaningful prayer service, and over the course of these 16 years, over 100 different people have been generous enough to share their personal insights and faith with us.  The participants spend much of the Lenten season reflecting on their particular passage and preparing their brief reflections, so we ask you to keep them in your prayers as they complete this journey this Lent. 

This year’s service is going to be pre-recorded and made available online at 9am on Good Friday morning.   A link wil appear on this page.

We invite you to join us this year as the following people offer reflections on the Seven Last Words: Andy and Nancy Bacevich, who will be preparing a shared reflection a a married couple; Sarah Begg; Mike Fitzgerald; John Guerini; Joan Hurwits; Brian London;  Molly Polansky.   We are sure that you will find this prayer service a very fitting way to begin your observance of Good Friday.  Please join us!
