The Seven Words Spoken by Christ on the Cross summarizes the seven final words of Jesus at the crucifixion, reflecting the themes of forgiveness, love, suffering, and the completion of the work of salvation. These words constitute His final sermon, emphasizing Jesus' role as redeemer, preserver, and the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy, affirming the victory of faith over death. Books or meditations on this topic, such as those by Saint Robert Bellarmine, are often used as spiritual meditations to prepare for death and experience Christ's suffering.
