Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Catholic Talk Show. Today we're going to be looking at famous last words from Catholic Saints.

That's right. We're going to look at the last words uttered by people like popes, saints, and martyrs.

Some of these are the most fascinating things you'll ever hear, and it gives you a glimpse into what they were thinking as they went to their eternal reward.

All right.

So today we're going to be looking at some last words from Saints.

I got to think we're going to be running the gamut on a few different styles here, you know, going down through the ages.

You know, looking at last words is always something that's really been fascinating to me, you know, going down through the ages. You know, looking at last words is always something that's really been fascinating to me,

whether it's famous last words from presidents or historical figures, you know,

et tu-burte, that kind of stuff.

I always think that it's pretty illuminating as to what and where they were when they were dying and what their views on death were.

And I think this sheds a lot of insight into these saints, into these popes, and especially into these martyrs.

And it's meditating on the seven last words of Christ. And we've talked about that particular devotion in other episodes. If you don't know that devotion, go out and learn it. But real quick, the seven last words of Christ, they're not seven words. They're the seven sayings, right? Words meaning like, what are your words, right? So I'll give those real quick as a preface to this before we get into the last words of Pope's Saints and Martyrs. So the first is, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do, Luke 23, 24.

Today, you will be with me in paradise, Luke 2343.

Woman, behold your son, behold your mother, John 19, 26, 27.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Matthew 27, 46. I thirst, John 1928. It is finished, John 1930. And finally, Father, into your hands, I commend my spirit. Luke 2346. Very powerful devotion to meditate on those. But it's also interesting that that last one father

into your hands i commend my spirit when i was doing the research for this episode hundreds

of saints picked that or said that as their last words in imitation of christ that them realizing in their moment of death in Articula Mortis

that they knew they were dying. And in their last moment, they wanted to do the same that Christ

did in his moment of death too. So I thought that was a really, an interesting aspect to the

research that I found on that. But seven last words of Christ, incredibly powerful, Ryan.
