This is Violex number 162. My love is crucified. We are in St. Matthew chapter 27,

verses 35 to 37. God grant you his peace and no many patrice at Fidi to Santee. Amen.

God, our Lord, we ask the grace that all of our intentions, actions, and operations,

be directed purely to the service and praise of your divine majesty.

Andoni Patricephili at Spiriti tu Santi, amen.

And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots.

Then they sat down and kept watch over him there.

And over his head they put the charge against him, which read,

This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.

Okay, so obviously just a few verses there today.

I will reread to you verse 35, which reads,

and when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots. So today we are in the actual crucifixion of Jesus Christ, And one of the questions people have had through history

was, did these nails go through his hands or through his wrists? So let's look at Father Lopidae,

the 16th century Jesuit, who considers all the church fathers. And as we mentioned before,

remember, any time the church fathers are unanimous on something, the church, the Catholic

church holds them to be infallible.

That is a little known fact of Vatican One, but again, it has to be unanimous.

So the Church Fathers come with tremendous weight on these things because they knew the apostles, one of whom was there at the crucifixion of Christ.

Vala Lopidae says it is a doctrine of the faith that Christ was nailed, not merely tied to

the cross.

So let me pause right there.

Apparently, there was even debate in Father Lopi's time in the 16th century.
