Summary

On this Good Friday, we share Bishop Barron's “Tre Ore” reflections, which Cardinal Dolan invited him to deliver in 2012 at St. Patrick’s Cathedral (New York, NY).

The “Tre Ore,” or Three Hours’ Agony, is a liturgical service held on Good Friday from noon until three o'clock to commemorate the Passion of Christ, and includes a series of homilies on the seven last words spoken by Christ. Bishop's seven reflections last around 90 minutes, so we encourage you to listen to them sometime today.

1:24 - Introduction
5:31 - First Word ("Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.")
18:11 - Second Word ("Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.")
34:08 - Third Word ("Woman, behold your son... Behold your mother.")
46:36 - Fourth Word ("My God, my God, why have your forsaken me?")

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show on this Good Friday.
0:09.2	Normally, we post new episodes on Mondays, but we wanted to share this bonus episode with you.
0:15.1	It contains Bishop Barron's Tray-Ore reflections, which Cardinal Timothy Dolan invited Bishop
0:21.6	Barron to deliver in 2012 at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. The Tray-Ore, or three hours
0:29.4	agony, is a liturgical service held on Good Friday from noon until three o'clock to commemorate
0:36.4	the Passion of Christ. It includes music and prayers and a series of homilies on the Seven Last
0:43.5	Words spoken by Christ. Now, the full service is about three hours long, and we're not sharing the
0:49.6	full audio of the full service. Instead, we're just sharing Bishop Barron's seven reflections on
0:55.6	the Seven Last Words of Christ. It's about one hour in total, so maybe you listen to it all at once,
1:01.2	or maybe you stretch it throughout the day and come back to it again and again, but we think it's
1:06.3	one of the greatest things you can hear and enjoy on this Good Friday as we all focus our attention
1:12.3	on the Passion of Christ. So sit back and enjoy these Tray-Ore reflections from Bishop Robert Barron.

1:43.0	in Ireland, and looking down at the buildings and all standing out with such clarity. What
1:48.9	occurred to me was, you know, many people say New York is the capital of modern secularism,
1:54.2	and that's true to some degree, I suppose. But whenever I look down on New York, I think of
2:00.4	Holy New York. I think, for example, of Thomas Merton, whose conversion commenced when he was just
2:07.2	down Fifth Avenue at the old Scribner's bookstore, and he saw a book by the French philosopher
2:12.8	Etienne Gilson. Merton bought that book and it started the process by which he became a Catholic.
2:19.0	He was of course baptized up in Morningside Heights, up at Corpus Christi Church. I think two of
