Hi, I'm Edwards Three, and welcome to all things Catholic where real faith meets real life. At the end of his life, just before he breathed his last on Calvary, Jesus said these

famous words in John 19 verse 28 it is finished it is finished but did

you know what those words were really all about do you know what they were really

signaling what Jesus really meant by those words.

It was more than just the end of his life,

his life is finished, or the end of his mission,

or the fulfillment of all prophecy.

We'll see it involves those things,

but it actually is signaling the completion of something that he started at the

last supper.

That first Eucharist, that first mass, and it sheds a lot of light on the mass that we celebrate

here today. So as we are entering Holy Week this week and we're getting ready to celebrate Good Friday and remember all that Jesus did for us, I want to make the connection to the mass, because whenever we go to mass, we go to

Calvary. We don't just remember Calvary on Holy Week or on Good Friday. We remember it every single eucharistic liturgy. We participate in it as that

sacrifice of Christ is made present to us. It is finished is pointing to the great

eucharistic sacrifice that he started at the

last supper and completed on the cross that close connection between the

eucharist and the cross is we're gonna look at in this week's podcast so

welcome to all things Catholic.

I'm your host Edwards Three. I want to welcome anyone checking out the show for the first time,

especially those in Minnesota where I was traveling around the Twin Cities and the New

Wome Diocese met so many great faithful Catholics there as well as Miami

Florida. So I've been from way up in the north in Minnesota all the way down south
