Contemplating the Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross Sunday, 23 March 2014 3:58 PM

General Theme: Seven Last Words and the Sacraments Themes for each of the seven last words are in bold letters. Guide in selecting songs: a. Read the selected scripture passage. b. Connect the message of the "last word of Jesus" with the theme of the Sacrament assigned. c. Song can be either English or Filipino/Tagalog. d. Song or songs indicated below are just suggestions. Your group can choose other songs based on the above guideline. e. There will be seven songs for the 7 Last words and a Closing Reflection Song. We are asking the help of two choirs so if its possible each choir can sing 4 songs each. We indicated the preferred song for one of the Choirs so there would be no duplication. Thank you for your support!
