good friday

holy thursday night was beautiful. when the lights were off and the place lit by candles, it felt for a moment that i was transposed to another place.

my first confession since i came here. the priest was spot on telling me what i should do: do things that you will love yourself for.

and the phrase that strike me to the core during the stations of the cross: jesus was obedient to the last, all the way to the cross.

the seven last words:

(1) father, forgive them, they know not what they do
(2) amen, i say to you today you will be with me in paradise
(3) woman, behold, your son... behold, your mother
(4) my god, my god, why have you forsaken me
(5) i thirst
(6) it is finished
(7) father, into your hands i commend my spirit
