Quezon City – March 28, 2025 – The Dominican Province of the Philippines, in partnership with the University of Santo Tomas and the Santo Domingo Convent, held the annual Siete Palabras this Good Friday, March 28, 2025, at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of La Naval de Manila, Sto. Domingo Church, Quezon City.
With the theme “Krus ni Hesus: Bukal ng Pag-asa” (The Cross of Jesus: Wellspring of Hope), the event invited the faithful to reflect on Christ's Passion as a source of true hope.
Reflections on the Seven Last Words of Jesus were preached by six Dominican friars and one priest from the Dominican Priestly Fraternity of St. Dominic:
“Ama, patawarin mo sila, sapagka't hindi nila nalalaman ang kanilang ginagawa.”
– Fr. Filemon I. Dela Cruz, Jr., OP
“Tunay kong sinasabi sa 'yo: sa araw na ito ay makakasama kita sa Paraiso.”
– Fr. Rambang Ngawan, OP
“Babae, hayan ang iyong anak! Hayan ang iyong ina.”
– Fr. Ian Joeffrey Melendres, OP
“Diyos ko, Diyos ko, bakit mo ako pinabayaan?”
– Fr. Louie Coronel, OP
“Ako’y nauuhaw.”
– Fr. John Stephen Besa, OP
“Naganap na.”
– Fr. Tereso Campillo Jr., OP
“Ama, sa iyong mga kamay ay inihahabilin ko ang aking espiritu.”
– Fr. Julius De Sagun, OP (Dominican Priestly Fraternity of St. Dominic)
