Jesus dies on the cross
Jesus, seeing that everything had
been completed so that the Scripture record might also be complete,
then said, "I am thirsty."
A jug of sour wine was standing by. Someone put a sponge soaked with
the wine on a javelin and lifted it to his mouth. After he took the
Wine, Jesus said, "It's done -complete." Bowing his head he offered
up his spirit.
My Lord Jesus Christ, I pray you to
grant me two graces before I die: the first is that during my life
I may feel in my soul and in my body, as much as possible, that pain
which you, dear Jesus, sustained in the hour of your most bitter Passion.
The second is that I may feel in my heart, as much as possible, that
excessive love with which you, 0 Son of God, were inflamed in willingly
enduring such suffering for us sinners.
Prayer
on La Verna - Fioretti.
Clare:
Behold him,
consider him,
desire to imitate him:
if you suffer with him, you shall reign with him,
if you weep with him, you shall rejoice with him.
If you die with him on the cross of sorrow,
you shall possess heavenly mansions in the brightness of the saints
and your name shall be ever, in the book of life,
called glorious among humankind.
Letter II to Agnes of Prague.
