Seven Last Words

March 27th at 6pm 

During the season of Lent, the Church invites us to draw close to the Cross of Christ. We remember the suffering of the Lord, not as distant observers of a past event, but as members of His Body — a people whose lives are continually united to His saving love.

The words Jesus spoke from the Cross were spoken once in history, yet they continue to echo through the life of the Church. In every act of forgiveness, in every moment of suffering offered to God, in every work of mercy, and in every quiet act of trust, the Passion of Christ is lived again in His people.

This year at Our Lady of the Mountains, we will gather for a prayerful reflection on The Seven Last Words of Christ. Members of our parish community, representing different ministries, will share brief reflections on each of the Lord’s final words — offering how these words are revealed through their own lives and service.

Through Scripture, candlelight procession, music, and reflection, we will listen together to how Christ’s Passion continues to unfold within the life of His Church today.

The evening will conclude with a brief period of Eucharistic Adoration, allowing us to rest in the presence of the One who gave Himself completely for the salvation of the world.

Following the service, all are invited to remain for a simple dinner and fellowship provided by the Knights of Columbus in the Parish Hall.

As we journey toward Holy Week, may we recognize more deeply that the story of the Cross is not only something we remember — it is a mystery we are invited to live.

Fridays of Lent at OLM

Pray Together • Walk with Christ • Share the Table

“We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.”— (cf. Galatians 6:14)



Each Friday of Lent, our parish family gathers to enter more deeply into the mystery of the Lord’s Passion. We begin in prayer with the Stations of the Cross, accompanying Jesus on the road to Calvary, placing before Him our burdens, our gratitude, and the intentions we carry in our hearts.

Afterward, the evening continues in fellowship around a shared meal. In the simplicity of the table, we remember that Lent is not only a season of sacrifice, but also a season of communion — with Christ and with one another.

The dinners are free, and donations each week support charitable causes through the ministries of our parish and beyond.
