Siete Palabras (Seven Last Words of Jesus) — devotional artwork

Maipapan iti daytoy a kararag

Siete Palabras contemplates seven sayings of Jesus from the cross, gathered from the Gospels. It is especially associated with Good Friday in the Philippines. This guide prints complete cited verses from the public-domain Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner revision, alongside clearly separated reflection prompts. It is a devotional guide, not a replacement for the Church’s Good Friday liturgy.

English master notice

Prayers and Reflections strives to provide faithful and accurate Catholic prayers and devotional materials in different Philippine languages.

Some prayer texts are obtained from existing Catholic websites and devotional sources. While these sources are selected with care, not all translations have documented ecclesiastical approval or have undergone independent theological and linguistic verification.

Some translations may therefore contain unintentional differences, variations in wording, or inaccuracies.

Our translation verification and improvement process is ongoing. We welcome corrections and suggestions from clergy, Catholic scholars, and knowledgeable native speakers.

The inclusion of a prayer does not imply official approval by the Catholic Church unless such approval is expressly identified and verified.

Thank you for helping us preserve the integrity and accuracy of Catholic prayers.
