00:00Upon the rocky hill of Calvary outside Jerusalem, Jesus was lifted high upon the wooden cross
00:05between two criminals. Looking down upon those who crucified him, Jesus prayed,
00:10Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. One repentant thief turned to Jesus in humble
00:16faith, pleading, Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom. With boundless divine mercy,
00:22the Savior promised him, Amen, I say to you, today you will be in paradise. Standing faithfully
00:28beneath the cross were his sorrowful mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and the beloved disciple Saint
00:33John. Gazing tenderly upon Mary and John, Jesus entrusted them to one another, Woman, behold your
00:40son, behold your mother. From noon until three in the afternoon, a solemn darkness covered the whole
00:46land as creation mourned silently. Fulfilling every ancient scripture and thirsting love for souls,
00:51Jesus whispered from the cross, It is now finished. Crying out with a loud voice, Jesus prayed,
00:57Father, into your hands I commend my spirit, yielding his life. Seeing how Jesus died in supreme forgiving
01:03love, the Roman centurion glorified God. Truly this man was righteous.
