The seven last sayings of Christ. Lent Program Wk 5. The final sermon of Jesus unpacked.

In this powerful conclusion to our five-week Lenten journey, Charbel Raish unpacks the "Seven Last Sayings" of Jesus on the Cross. Moving beyond a mere historical account, this session explores how these final words serve as Jesus’s "ultimate sermon," modelling the path of forgiveness, mercy, and total surrender for every disciple. Discover the deep connections between the Old Testament and the Crucifixion, from the 18 parallels found in Psalm 22 to the fulfilment of the Passover through the "Fourth Cup". Charbel also reveals the beautiful symbolism of the Church as the Bride of Christ, born from the side of the "New Adam," and explains how every Mass allows us to step into these eternal mysteries—from Calvary to the Resurrection. As we enter Holy Week, let this final teaching inspire you to carry your cross, forgive without reservation, and prepare for the joy of the Resurrection.
