"Jesus, remember me, when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus, remember me, when you come into your kingdom."

by Jacques Berthier, Taizé Community

This Taize song just repeats itself over and over again. But what a great significance it has for we people on Earth. This chant gives us reassurance and hope, that when we die, we don't just disappear and die forever, but there will be a kingdom somewhere in Heaven.

Today's homily during good friday service by Father John Wong was truly inspiring. The 7 last words of Jesus.

1. "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." Lk. 23: 34

2. "This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise." Lk. 23: 43

3. "Woman, behold thy son." Jn. 19: 26-7

4. "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Mk. 15: 34 (Mt. 27: 46)

5. "I thirst." Jn. 19: 28.

6. "It is finished." Jn 19: 30

7. "Into thine hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit." Lk. 23:46

There is a meaning in each and everyone of these words.... The 7th and final word of Jesus is by far the most reassuring, as we know, there is a Heaven somewhere out there, waiting for our arrival someday.
