Good morning, everybody here from the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy and Stockbridge as it's raining again, but the graces are flowing down many from heaven.

We're glad you could join us.

This is a beautiful opportunity for us to continue our series, explaining the faith where I am taking you back to seminary, teaching you everything I learned, but it doesn't cost you

anything. You don't have to take any tests, and you don't even have to leave your couch. So, praise

me to God that you've joined us, and we're grateful. Today's topic is very powerful. You know,

when I started this topic, I didn't really have a true appreciation of what I was getting into.

And I even learned a lot. I went back. Chris Sparks helped me. He's one of our theologians,

get some data. I went back. I did research. I went back into my seminary notes. This is probably

one of the most powerful talks, topics that I've ever, ever covered.

The most powerful topic, because we're going to be talking about the crucifixion.

We're preparing for Holy Week for the Tritouam.

And we're going to be talking about, was it real?

Is there scientific proof? Is there historical

proof? And what kind of suffering did Christ endure? I think it's going to really wake us up.

I know it did me, and we're grateful that you could join us. Let's begin with a prayer in the name of the

Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Heavenly Father, we thank you

for the gift of your Son,

who so selfishly gave himself

for the salvation of mankind,

endured immense suffering and torture

for the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
