Description

Upon the cross against the hills of the night

they nailed the man, and while

they speared his breast
they made him drink the bile.

He bore the pains alone, alone

but in the haloed darkness saw

sweet Mary's face
upturned in grief below.

Tears filmed her eyes, but love

chastened the tragic beauty of her face

which neither death nor sorrow

could erase.

He saw and feebly in the silence strove

to speak a few remembered words;

but now the whispers left his lips

like tender birds.

His arms were cold and death

was in his eyes; the streams

of blood were dry upon
the whiteness of his limbs.

His breath was like a wounded bird,

Wanting to stay, to stay, bereft;

now Mary rose and,
treasuring his sorrow, left.

("Man Upon The Cross" by Conrado V. Pedroche)

Seven Last Words

Luke 23:34

"Verily, I say to thee, today shalt thou be with me in Paradise."
Luke 23:43

"Woman, behold your son. Behold your mother."
John 19:26-27

"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" (My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)
Matthew 27:46

"I thirst."
John 19:28

"It is finished."
John 19:30

Excerpt from "The Medical view of His suffering"
by Gerald H. Bradley M. D.

Rusty nails were driven on both his hands and his feet. It was driven amongst the carpal bones of the wrists instead of his palms. Because of the weight of his body would have ripped away the flesh between his fingers. In ROME, they considered the wrist to be part of the hand. The rusty, germ laden nails would caused gangrene and tetanus to victims.

This was the most agonizing death man could face. He had to support himself in order to breathe. The flaming pain caused by the spikes hitting the median nerve in the wrists explodes up his arms, into his brain and down his spine.

The spike burning through the nerves between the metatarsal bones of the feet jerks his body erect, then the leg muscles convulse and drive his body downward…beating him against the cross.

Air is sucked in, but cannot be exhaled until the buildup of carbon dioxide in the lungs and blood stream stimulates breathing to relieve the cramps.

Exhaustion, shock, dehydration and paralysis destroy the victim.

The heart is barely able to pump the thick blood as each of his billions of cells die one at a time. Prior to his death in all his agony, Jesus is in full control of his mind.

Finally in death the blood coagulates and separates into serum and clotted blood cells.
