The Ultimate Sacrifice | Preparing for Holy Week

In this episode of Beloved & Blessed’s Women’s Bible Study, Kimberly Hahn concludes the Sorrowful Mysteries as she unpacks the Fifth Sorrowful Mystery—Jesus Dies on the Cross. Using the Stations of the Cross and Jesus’s Seven Last Words to guide our reflections, Kimberly draws us into the depths of this mystery. In this episode, join Kimberly in reflecting on why we should pay careful attention to Jesus’s final words, what Jesus meant when He said, “It is finished,” and the significance of the “new” tomb. Through these reflections, you’ll discover why the fruit of in-depth meditation on this mystery is self-sacrifice. Through this final installment of the Sorrowful Mysteries, enter Holy Week with a deeper reverence and understanding of Our Lord's Paschal Mystery. 00:00 Opening prayer 01:27 Jesus is Stripped and Nailed to the Cross 04:50 "Father, forgive them...” 07:50 Comments of the Passersby 09:43 The First Deathbed Conversion 15:27 “Woman, behold your son” 20:28 The Significance of Darkness 22:36 “Why have you abandoned me?”  28:32 “I thirst” 31:50 “It is finished” 37:04 “Into your hands I commit my spirit” 40:23.
