0:00.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I am Brandon Vott on the content director here at Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.
0:13.0	And as we begin Holy Week this 2019, we have a special gift to offer you.
0:18.0	Instead of one of our normal podcast discussions, we wanted to give you something more reflective and meditative to carry you throughout this most sacred week.
0:27.0	And so we're going to be sharing with you Bishop Barron's reflections on each of the 14 stations of the cross.
0:33.0	We released these a few weeks ago, maybe some of you have seen some of them, but we compiled them all together into one audio file here for you.
0:42.0	You might want to listen to them all at once or you might want to listen to two or three each day as you move throughout this week.
0:48.0	But we hope they allow you to have a deeper and more intentional Holy Week. So enjoy the stations of the cross reflections from Bishop Barron.
1:08.0	The first station, Jesus is condemned to death.

2:02.0	Jesus endeavored to unite the nation to bring the tribes back together.
2:07.0	This was the point of his open table fellowship.
2:10.0	He's reaching out to sinners and tax collectors, his inclusion of the sick, the marginalized.
2:16.0	In David's city, he cleansed the temple and promised that he would establish a new temple.
2:24.0	And throughout his life and ministry, Jesus opposed the old kings.
2:28.0	We see it from the very beginning in the infancy narratives themselves.
2:33.0	Jesus is presented as an alternative to Quirinius and Augustus.
2:37.0	And his arrival, even as a baby, is enough to frighten Herod and Alderuslam.
