It's an apologetic conference, what it is.

It's I'm going to be doing four talks proving that Jesus

Christ started the Roman Catholic Church based on my book,

One Lord, One Faith, One Church.

It's a very unique apologetics book.

And this is one area where Catholics

need to be sure about so they can know

that they're part of the One True Church.

Yeah, and that's a sacred, hard chapel in Covena.

May 17th is on a 17th and a deposit faith conference.

We had one here in Arizona.

So now we're having one over there.

And it's a unique conference.

There's nothing like it in the country.

There's nobody teaching any,

there's nobody teaching in the Catholic church

that were the One True Church.

There's nobody teaching that.

The only one teaching is, I'm not bragging about it.

I'm just saying, if somebody has to do it.

And look, you're going to learn some things

that you never heard before or something.

You'll learn some things that your pastor doesn't know,

that your bishop doesn't know, okay.

And this way, you're going to be certain, like, okay,

I'm in the One True Church.

Now from here, all I got to do is try to work

and become in holy.

Yes.

All I'm going to be on August 9th,

over at the Sacred Heart Chapel,

I'm going to be speaking at a men's conference

with two youngsters, two millennials,

Anthony Acosta and his seven co-barruvias,

and me, no die.

It's going to be called Creating Modern Day Crusaders.

So I'm going to, yeah, they look at me as a mentor.

And so so be it, if that's what happens

when you're over 60, young guys,

look at you as a mentor.

So it'll be a men's conference,

August 9th at the Sacred Heart Chapel.

And I'll be there with two.

Others come and bring your sons.

Yeah.

I'll be there with it's bring your young sons.

There's going to be some young speakers there.

And you old dudes come over here and hear me speak.

They're giving it up.

I'll fire you guys up.

Yes, absolutely.

All right, we're going to jump right into the topic

where we left off last time is called,

we're going to be going through Good Friday

and Holy Saturday for the rest of the show.

So the first question is, what happened

at the trial before the Sanhedrin?

So mark up chapter 14 verses 53 and 65 gives this account.

It says, and they led Jesus to the high priest

and all the chief priests and the elders

and the scribes who were assembled.

And Peter had followed him at a distance

right into the courtyard of the high priest

and he was sitting with the guards

and warming himself at the fire.

Now the chief priest and the whole council

sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death

but they found none.

For many bore false witness against him

and their witness did not agree.

And some stood up and bore false witness against him saying,

we heard him say, I will destroy this temple

that is made with hands and in three days

I will build another not made with hands.

Yet not even so did their testimony agree.

And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus,

have you no answer to make?

What is it that these men testify against you?

But he was silent and made no answer.

Again, the high priest asked him,

are you the Christ, the son of the blessed?

And Jesus said, I am and you will see the son of man

sitting at the right hand of power

and coming with the clouds of heaven.

And the high priest tore his mantle and said,

why do we still need witnesses?

You have heard this blasphemy.

What is your decision?

And they all condemned him as deserving death

and some began to spit on him and to cover his face

and to strike him, say to him, prophesy

and the guards received him with blows.

What upset the Sanhedrin at this point

was when Jesus Christ, when he quoted the book of Daniel

where he says, I am and you will see the son of man

coming at the right hand of power

and coming with the clouds of heaven.

And it says, and the high priest tore his mantle.

Jesus is basically saying that he's divine.

He came from heaven, that he's a divine person.

That's what's got their, their, their, their eyeer

and they said, this guy's calling himself God.

Yeah.

He tore his robes and he was charged.

That was the crime of Jesus by, by the Jews,

the crime of blasphemy.

Yes.

The second, next question is.

Okay, the next question.

What did Jesus say to Peter before he died?

Jesus predicted Peter's betrayal in Mark 14, 26,

at 31, he tells us this conversation as he says.

And when the, at some of him,

they went out to the mountain of all of them.

Jesus said to them, you will all fall away

for it is written.

I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.

But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.

Peter said to him, even though they, they, they all fall away,

I will not.

And Jesus said to him, truly, I say to you,

this very night before the cockroach,

twice, you'll deny me three times.

But he said vehemently, if I must die with you,

I will not deny you.

And they all said the same thing.

Here's a beautiful thing, although all the apostles,

but for John, John didn't run away.

We know John, everybody ran away,

but John, keep back to the foot of the cross.

John, keep back to the foot of the cross.

All of them,

denied our Lord initially,

but all of them are in heaven right now.

That shows the mercy of God.

Why?

Except Judas, why?

Because they all repented.

They repented.

And God will forgive anything you do as long as you repent.

And also, you know, John was the only one

that didn't suffer Martyr's death.

Martyr's death, you know, he died in the island of Patmos.

He stood at the foot of the cross,

and Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, and he took Mary in and lived with her.

Right. He followed Jesus.

Jesus said, okay.

And so he was rewarded.

Yes, he did.

He did.

And he did it.

So the next question, where do we read the story

of Saint Peter's betrayal?

Hey, where do we, it tells us in Saint,

and in the book of Mark chapter 14 verse 66 to 17,

it tells us the story of it tells us stories of Peter's betrayal.

It says, and as Peter was below in the courtyard,

one of the maids of the high priest came and seen Peter

warming himself, she looked at him and said,

you also were with the Nazarene, Jesus,

but he denied it saying, I neither know nor understand

what you mean.

And he went out into the gateway and the maid saw him

and began again to say to the bystanders,

this man is one of them.

But again, he denied it.

And after a little while again,

the bystanders said to Peter,

certainly you are one of them,

or you are a Galilean.

All that thought, we won't come back.

And here she comes, the mother of the Savior

our Lady of Guadalupe.

Mother as the Redeemer,

pray for us, who is at the foot of the cross.

We'll be right back.

We're talking about Peter's betrayal.

We'll be right back.

Amen.

Amen.

Let's pray for us.

So tell me you hold us in your arms.

Your beauty and your grace are the bright and low down.

Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Pray for us.

So tell me you hold us in your arms.

We're holy, good Friday.

This is probably the most solemn day of the year.

The day our Lord died for us since 2000 years ago.

And where he will rest upon the bowels of the earth for three days.

We're talking about St. Peter's betrayal right now.

Right.

We are.

And we left off at St. Mark's chapter 14 verse 66 to 72.

I'm going to start all over.

And as Peter was below in the courtyard,

one of the maids of the high priest came and seen Peter warming himself.

She looked at him and said,

you also were with the Nazarene, Jesus, but he denied it.

Saying, I neither know nor understand what you mean.

And he went out into the gateway and the maid saw him and began again

to say to the bystanders.

This man is one of them, but again, he denied it.

And after a little while again, the bystander said to Peter,

certainly you are one of them or you are Galilean,

but he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear.

I do not know this man of whom you speak.

And immediately the cock crowed a second time.

And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him,

before the cock crowed twice, you will deny me three times.

And he broke down and wept.

There's a tradition that Peter every time he heard a cock crow

for the rest of his life after this event, he cried every single time he wept,

every time he heard a cock crow for the rest of his life until he died.

That's interesting.

I guess those things, you know, the not remorse of conscious.

I don't want to say that.

It's just the regret of our actions.

And that made him recall that event every single time.

Which shows you the connection.

Kind of like a PTSD.

It shows you the connection that the emotions have with the intellect,

the mind emotionally.

Here's the cock crow for the rest of his life.

Those emotions are triggered and his mind recalls that event

and he cried every time for the rest of his life.

So what do you think about the significance of the three times?

There's a lot of reference to three.

Everything in the scripture is everything.

As Aristotle says, all things come in multiples of three.

Aristotle said that.

So even in this event, you know,

Saul of Tarsus blind for three days.

Jesus, three days in the tomb.

Jonah, three days in the belly of the whale.

I have three days.

I will.

Peter, the cock crow's three times.

It's all a reference to the Trinity because the finger prints of the Trinity are all over the cosmos.

Yes.

Yes.

I think that was important to point out.

So let's listen, listen, go to our next question.

What happened to Peter after he denied Jesus?

St. Peter, wept bitterly.

It shows us in Matthew 2675 when he realized his betrayal.

After the resurrection with the Lord appeared in the apostles in Galilee.

The Lord affirmed his forgiveness when he reconfirmed Peter's role of feeding and guiding the Lord's flock.

As well as the manner of Peter's own death was prophesied by Jesus in John 2115 and 19.

Peter would die in narrow circus on Vatican Hale about 66 AD.

Crucified upside down in mockery of Christ crucifixion.

So the next thing we want to look at, what happened on Good Friday in the Bible?

That's today.

So on Good Friday, Jesus was scourged and he was sent to death by Pontius Pilate and forced to carry his cross to Calvary and finally crucified on the cross.

And here's the account from Saint Mark chapter 15 verse 1 to 47.

It says, and as soon as it was morning, the chief priest with the elders and scribes and the whole council held a consultation and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate.

And Pilate asked him, are you the king of the Jews?

And he answered him, you have said so and the chief priest accused him of many things.

And Pilate again asked him, have you no answer to make?

See how many charges they bring against you, but Jesus made no further answer.

So that pilot pilot wondered.

Now at the feast, he used to release for them one prisoner whom they asked and among the rebels in prison,

that committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Bravis.

And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was want to do what and want to do for them.

And he answered them, do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?

For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priest had delivered him up.

But the chief priest stirred up the crowd to have him released for them for Abbas instead.

And Pilate again said to them, then what shall I do with the man whom you call the king of the Jews?

And they cried out again, crucify him.

And Pilate said to them, why?

What evil has he done?

But they shouted all the more, crucify him.

So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them for Abbas.

Having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

I'll pick it up from there.

And the soldiers let him away inside the palace that is a Praetorium and they called together the whole battalion.

And they clothed him in a purple cloak and plating the crowd of thorns they put it on him.

And they began to salute him, hail king of the Jews.

And they struck his head with a reed and they spat upon him.

And they now done and homage to him.

And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him.

And they led him out to crucify him.

And they compelled a passerby, Simon or Cyrene, who was coming to, who was coming in from the country,

the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

And they brought him to the place called Golgotha, which means the place of a skull.

And they now offered him wine, mingle with Murr, but he did not take it.

And they crucified him and divided his garments among them.

Cassie lost for them to decide what each should take.

And it was the third hour when they crucified him and the inscription of the charge against him read the king of the Jews.

And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

And those who pass by derided him, wagging their heads and saying,

you who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself and come down from the cross.

And so also the chief priest mocked him to win another with the scribes saying, he saved others, he cannot save himself.

Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross that we may see and believe those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloy, Eloy, Lama Sabatani, which means my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?

And some of the bystanders here in it said, behold, he is calling, he is calling Elijah and one ran and building a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a read and gave it to him to drink, saying, wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.

And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last.

And the curtain of the temple was torn into two, into from top to bottom. And when the centurion who stood facing him saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, truly, this man was the son of God.

There were also women looking down on from afar among among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph and Solomon, who when he was in Galilee followed him and minister to him and also many of the women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

And when evening had come, since it was the day of preparation, that is the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Air Mathia, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to pilot and asked for the body of Jesus and pilot wondered if he were already dead and summoning the centurion.

He asked him whether he was already dead. And when he leaned, he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph and he brought a linen shroud and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him into two, which had been hewn out of the rock.

And he rolled the stone against the door of the tomb, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus saw where he was laid.

Two things I want to mention, the two thieves there that are not mentioned, one of the right, one of the left, tradition tells us that the thief on the right is called Saint Dismiss, he's in heaven now.

Tradition tells us that the thief on the left, the name is Guestus, tradition tells us he's in hell. Also, my wife just read where the linen shroud in the last verse, the linen shroud we believe is a shroud of turn, which is a possession of the Catholic Church today.

Yes. So why do we call it good Friday? It is called good because through the horrific passion and death of our Lord, he brought about mankind's greatest good, our redemption and the possibility of eternal life with the Holy Trinity.

Let me define redemption real quick. Some people say, okay, so everybody's going to heaven, no. All of us were prisoners right there, it says with and the possibility. So that's the key word.

Yeah, you have redemption and salvation, redemption, salvation. All of us, because of original sin and actual sin, we were prisoners. That's what the Bible says in the Old and New Testament.

I think about being in a blocked up and it's jail cell redemption is Jesus opened everybody's door by the shedding of his blood. That's what was the ticket to open the door of every jail cell. That's called redemption. So everybody's redeemed, Satanist, Muslims, everybody's the door is open because of the blood of Jesus.

So you've got to walk out of that jail cell, surrender yourself to the master, because he says, come follow me. And follow him, pick up your cross and follow him, the rest of your life, that discipleship, which brings you to a life of grace and state of grace, now leads to salvation.

So everybody's potentially saved, but you got to follow Jesus and you have to follow him in his fullness in the Catholic church. Yeah, so you got to follow you got to say yes to Jesus and then walk out of that jail cell. That's the salvation. Yeah, that's the salvation. So when did Jesus die on good Friday?

He died at the ninth hour, which requires, which really creates to 3 p.m. as we measure time in the divine mercy devotion given by Lord to same fasting is called the hour of mercy. So from 12 to 3 is really the holiest hours of the year.

Yes, I, because that's when Jesus Christ was redeeming the world on the cross. And that's why, for example, when the Satanist came over here to Scottsdale, I talked to father, emperor and Kyle, they say, if at all possible, it's always best to pray in public.

You know, some doing opposite all the work from 12 to 3 p.m. Yes, because both Kyle, father and then Schneider said, from 12 to 3, you're uniting your prayers to the stream of graces that come from the passion of Christ that occurred from 12 noon to 3 p.m. So you unite your prayers with the stream of the power of the grace that flows from those 3 holy hours, which we call the power of God.

Wow, that is so beautiful. I just, you know, you see, you see it differently now. Yeah, you know, I do ever since I learned that I see it differently from 12 to 3 p.m.

Here she comes.

Special time.

My 10 a day.

What up?

No, please.

We'll be right back.

We're talking about good Friday.

Holy Saturday.

See you on the other side.

I know down.

I'll lady if quite a little bit.

Pray for us.

So tell me you hold us in your way.

Your beauty and your grace are the bright you know down.

I'll lady if quite a little bit.

Pray for us.

So tell me you hold us in your way.

We are back.

Jesus and I were one with just a need of first responders.

Retired responders.

By the way.

And now we respond to.

We're responding to the soul.

Yes, to the soul.

Soul patrol.

By the way.

The service of the Lord.

And one of the things that's important is to pray for each other.

Yep.

So let me pray for my wife.

Every man should be praying for their wife every night.

This is a simple hand on her head.

I bless you the name of the father son of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

And every wife should be praying for her husband.

Hand over his heart.

I bless my husband name of the father son in the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Simple.

Based on the Bible.

First Corinthians chapter seven verse four.

Husband has a rights over his wife's body.

That means I can bless her.

That means I can call healing prayers upon her.

Deliver him prayers over her.

First Christmas.

Rest of prosperity.

She has rights over my body.

Based on scripture.

Divine law.

She can bless my body.

She can call healing prayers over my body.

She could also do predatory prayers to drive demons away as well.

And you know, maybe you can answer this question.

You know, for those women whose husbands that are not.

You know, right where you would like to be.

Like them to be in the faith.

You could still bless them.

Absolutely.

You know, you could still bless them.

Yeah.

Wives out there that her husbands are not a board.

Yeah.

At night before you go to bed, just put your hand in his heart and say.

I bless you name of the father son of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Yeah.

Cross right in his heart.

You're the heart of the home.

Yes.

And you have rights.

If you're sacramentally married, you have rights over his body.

That means you have rights.

That means you have rights.

Sacrament.

You don't put your hand in his head because you're not the priest of the home.

He's the head of the home.

So now we're going to go to.

Oh, you were talking about.

When did Jesus die?

A good Friday.

And so.

So how old was Jesus when he died?

Let's take a look at that.

No one knows exactly how old Jesus was when he died on the cross.

But he is said to have been 33 years of age.

Luke tells us Jesus was about 30 years old when he began his public ministry.

And Luke chapter three verse 23.

And was the ministry for three years.

And I'll tell you why.

He started his ministry at 30 is because in the Old Testament,

the tradition of the Jews is when somebody was going to be entering to the Jewish

priesthood.

It's.

It was a male at the age of 30.

You cannot enter the Jewish priesthood before the age of 30.

And so was at the age of 30 that Jewish men enter the Jewish priesthood.

So Christ, based on his tradition, waited 30 years to enter into the high priest's

ministry.

That's interesting.

I didn't know that.

That was.

That's very interesting.

And I think God priests, when they just how old are they when pretty much it?

I mean, if they start.

They can.

They can.

They don't have that.

Maybe they're way before.

Wait before 30.

There's no fixation.

You have to be a.

That's not date.

I think at 21 or age.

So here's another question.

Why.

What should I watch on good Friday?

Okay.

I watched the passion of the Christ.

I would watch the passion.

I would just take a break from all social media or media festivals.

Yeah.

Media fast.

I think that's a good idea.

Or the passion.

Yeah.

No, the passion is.

There's something religious.

Yeah.

You know, I remember one day it wasn't on good Friday.

But it was on Holy Saturday in our early years of marriage.

Jesse and I before we really were.

We're evangelized.

But we knew going to mass was important.

And one Saturday.

We just.

We started.

The entire day.

Yeah.

The entire day just looking at religious movies.

And though Ben.

Her.

The.

The King of Kings.

Yeah, that's right.

All day.

That's we binge on that.

And that just really.

That was a bonding for.

I think for our marriage.

At that point.

I always had a bond, but.

I think that just gave it a little bump, you know.

Both of us were under understanding.

Reports of our Catholic faith that a very young age.

Again, we've been.

Once, and then just...

Just moving.

David and Eliet.

Yeah.

He's just these holy movies just and that is process one of those are just processing and just like wow

This is our faith. Yeah, and at that time. Yeah, we had to go and get

They were DVDs at the time. That's right. We had to go and

We got 33 and we spend the entire day morning leaving. Yep. It was great. Okay

What should you what should you not do on good Friday? I think good question

Very good question. Well, good Friday is not a holy day of obligation

It is a day of fast and abstinence as it was ash Wednesday and here's what the USCCB says

For members of the Latin Catholic Church. That's us the norms on fastening or obligatory obligatory from 18

Until age 59

When fasting a person is permitted to eat one full meal as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal

The norm is concerning abstinence for meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 and onwards

Members of the Eastern Catholic Church are to observe the particular law of their own

Diocese

So the faithful are deeply encouraged to enter into the passion of Jesus by participating in the solemn liturgy of good Friday

Which we're going to participate in a few short hours

Many parishes have public stages of the cross

As well and saw me commemoration of the seven last words

It's also a good day to privately pray the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary which we did this morning

The divine mercy chaplain which which which which which we will at three o'clock

And and to begin the divine mercy novena for the next nine days

Next question who crucified Jesus?

Okay, let's see with the catechism of the Catholic Church says I'm in on paragraph

597 it says so they all bless the ways of the Lord the righteous judge who reveals the things that are hidden and they turn to prayer

Be teaching that the sin which had been committed might be wholly blotted out and

The noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves free from sin

For they had seen with their own eyes what had happened because of the sin of those who had fallen

He also took up a collection man by man to the amount of 2,000

Dracmas of silver and sent it to Jerusalem to provide for his sin offering

In doing this he acted very well and honorably

Taking account of the resurrection

For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again

It would have been

And foolish to pray for the dead

But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in

Godliness it was a holy and pious thought

Therefore he made a torment for the dead that they might be delivered from their sin

So the catechism just caught a second Maccabees chapter 12 verse 43 to 46

It describes a war that the Jews had against the

A subdivision of the Greeks

The Jews were worrying amulets of lucky charms around their neck

Superstitious metals around their neck

Many of them died and Judas Maccabees says we've got to pray for them because a lot of them died

Committing at least venial sin the catechism also says

Neither all Jews indiscriminately at that time

Nor Jews today can be charged with the crimes committed during his passion

The Jews should not be spoken of as rejected or occurs

As if this followed from a holy scripture and in other words what it say what it's saying is

Not all the Jews rejected Jesus some of them became Christians. That was the first

Beginning of the catheter many Jews became Catholic Christians

But there weren't the unbelieving Jews. Yes historically. They did put Jesus Christ

On a cross. Yeah, but really

I'm on a wider level all of our sins put him on the cross

It would just it would just historically speaking. It was unbelieving Jews the Sanhedrin the Pharisees and the Sages

And unbelieving pagan Romans

Put him on the cross historically, but all of us as the song says were you there we were all there because of our sins

The catechism further states in paragraph 599 to 600. Yeah, it says

Jesus's violent death was not the result of chance in an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances

But it's part of the mystery of God's plan as Saint Peter explains the Jews the Jerusalem in his first sermon on Pentecost

Quote he says this Jesus was delivered up according to the definite plan

And knowledge before knowledge of God

This biblical language does not mean that those who handed him over were merely passive players in a scenario written in advance by God

To God all moments of time are present in their immediacy

When therefore he establishes his eternal plan of predestination

He includes in it each person's free response to his grace

In this in this city in fact both Herod and punches pilot with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel gathered together

Against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place

For the sake of accomplishing his plan of salvation

God permitted the acts that flow from their blindness in other words God uses

The actions of wicked men still brings out brings about a greater good at the end

Explain the predestination a little bit because I know said people well is it that God already planned this?

He already knew okay, God knows everything

But God doesn't orchestrate everything

God knew that punches pilot was gonna condemn him

He knew that Caiaphas was gonna condemn him. He knew that Judas was gonna be betray him

But he didn't orchestrate that he didn't cause it to happen

He just because he knows all this what he did is he used all these betrayers and all these sinful men

to weave

The plan of salvation we call this divine providence and at the very end to bring about a greater good

Which is the death of the son of God on a cross for the redemption of the human race

So everybody now is potentially saved everybody's redeemed because of this evil things that happened in Jesus at the end

What was the end result the death of the cross made a ton for our sins and those of the whole world

Redemption was accomplished by all these wicked men

And by and by Jesus Christ willily surrendering himself to these wicked and evil designs

Good explanation. Thank you. What did Jesus say on the cross before he died known as a seven last words

That these are the phrases that our Lord spoke according to the gospel accounts of his crucifixion

Luke 23 34 he said father forgive them for they know not what they do

The second thing he said Luke 23 43 truly I say to you today will be with me in paradise

That's the same dismiss

3 John 19 26 it's 27 to the blessed Virgin Mary. He says woman he holds your son and to John the Apostles

Behold your mother

And Jesus Mary became the mother the entire human race at that point

The fourth thing he said was my god my god wise off forsaken me

15 I thirst 16 it is finished 7th father into the hands that commit my spirit and here she comes

Yeah, come to woman the old your son my ten day order for no before we write back

For us

I'll leave you

Pray for us

Oh

Happy holy good Friday of holy week the week that changed the world and happy birthday to my daughter Ann Marie

Yes 133rd birthday. What a what that's a beautiful age. Yes, it is it is we will we will all be

Please God we get to heaven. You're going to see it in grace

Everybody in heaven with their glorified body will be 33 years old for ever

So I have a picture take a picture yeah

So let me just mention real quick because I went through real fast

What did Jesus say on the cross before he died? I'll do the first one my wife will do the second

He said 7 less worse the first one he said was in Luke 2334 our lord said father

Forgiv them

For they know not what they do

And Luke 23 43 say the second one

Truly I say to you today you will be with me in paradise. What did you say that to

He said that to say

The third thing our lord said on the cross the seven last words

We're John 1926 and 27. This is where he gives us the fourth dog one of the Mary dogmas Mary mother of God

He said to the blessed Virgin woman be hold your son to say John be hold your mother

By giving Mary as a mother to John the Apostle John stands in everybody's stead John stands in everybody's place

He stands in proxy of every baptized Christian. Yes, he's received Mary as the mother of the church of every single Christian

Even the Protestants that don't know it that she's their mother if they're baptized in the name of the Trinity

She is their mother

They'll know it one day they'll know it doing the fourth

Is Matthew in Matthew chapter 27 for 46 and it's also in mark 1534 it says my god my god

Why house thou forsaken me Jesus Christ was praying Psalm 22

In Psalm 22

That's a messianic Psalm so as he's on the cross and the Jewish experts of the law the Pharisees and the Sadducees are there watching them

And he says the beginning of Psalm 22 they know they're going oh

What because that's why they put it to death he's caught himself the son of God and the Messiah and they're saying blasphemy

As he says that prayer in the cross they're saying

In our face he's on the cross. He's dying. We tortured him and he's still calling himself

Messiah and he's quoting a messianic verse and applying it to himself

So when you read Psalm 22 it talks away about the Messiah is going to be beaten

And humiliated and then the way God the Father will liberate him give him victory at the end so the Jews are saying

He's claiming Psalm 22

It ends in victory for the Messiah so he's saying

That although he's on the cross right now he will end all of this in victory

Again, they're they're they're ripping their robes off because he's still calling himself the Messiah

And that from the cross the fifth thing our Lord says John 1928 he says I thirst

now

Medical doctors say

He was actually thirsty he hadn't had anything for like

Six hours nothing to drink or even more than that I read

Hours he had nothing to drink

So it could be physically a thirsty mother Teresa of Calcutta says

He said that because he was thirsty for his souls

My thirst for all of your souls. So there's two potential interpretations

And that's when they gave him the the vinegar and gold right they thought yeah

Maybe he needs to be sedated right because of the pain. Yes, and he didn't want to take it then

Okay, so in John six the six point John chapter 19 verse 30 it says it is finished

It is finished

Remember the temple was being torn in half that there was an earthquake hit the temple

That God was the father was speaking and Jesus saying it is finished the son on the cross

The old covenant is obsolete

No more animals sacrifice no more temple no more temple no more Jewish priest

It's obsolete yep now that is we're gonna that's gonna give way to the new covenant

Which is the new isra la God the Catholic Church and the new temple sacrifice which is the holy sacrifice of the mass

So we were that event it is finished

Our Lord is saying we're leaving the old covenant and it's now being transformed

And giving way to the new covenant because the old covenant sacrifices rituals and ceremonial practices

Cannot save no more no no longer valid yeah, so okay, so what the seven the seventh last word is

In Luke 23 verse 46 as father into thy hands. I commit my spirit

That's actually taken from Psalm 31 verse 5

And that's a prayer that every faithful Jew I know not liberal Jews and the secular Jews

Every faithful Jew has been praying that since the days of Moses

So the days of King David. That's one of their evening prayers. In fact, it's their final prayer at night

They give their spirit to God before they go to sleep and that's what we do at night

That's one of our evening prayers one of our evening prayers that we pray together all 31 verse 5

That father into thy hands like Christ because you know you don't know if you're gonna wake up the next day

So you everybody thinks all tomorrow tomorrow

What about now at this point are you where are you at with Christ?

Are you in in in in in friendship with Christ or you an enemy of Christ at that point before you go to bed

You there's no guarantee you will wake up. Yeah, and so uh father into the hands. I commit my spirit

This is something that was taught to Jesus my who

They jose up. Yeah, St. Joseph the Jewish fathers were the catechist of the home. Yeah, St. Joseph

taught this prayer to our Lord. Obviously our lady was taught this prayer by her parents

She knew this prayer, but our Lord Jesus Christ as the son of God and of course he knows everything he's got

Yeah, but in his humanity

You know submitting himself to his father and mother

Joseph taught him this night prayer before he went to bed. Yeah, here's the next question

Where is the original cross of Jesus Christ? Yeah, that's a good while significant pieces of the cross are kept in Rome in the church called

Holy cross in Jerusalem over the centuries and great many

Fragments have also been distributed as holy relics and here's something that it's it's not you know

It's kind of funny, but mm-hmm everybody who talked to oh, I got a piece of the holy cross

I just wonder because I met like hundreds of people that say yeah, I got a piece of the holy cross

I doubt

Most people have a piece of holy cross. I'm sure some bishops do yeah

I was sure some priests had a very well connected to Rome do as well

But I don't think it says prevalent as many people walk across it. I got a piece of the holy cross

Yeah, you know the efficaciousness of a relic

You know, we're watching the road the other day and um there was a scene where um the centurion who was trying to you know

He he he had a slave who became a Christian and he had the robe of Christ and when he gave it to the centurion

He said get it off me get it off me. He had he had a

A rejection. I want to say he had this a version of version towards it because it was so that's what relics do

If you're you know, those are if they're true relics

It's going to come. Yeah, they will you will have an aversion if you are living in a mortal sin and

Diabolically afflicted

There will be an aversion. We've seen it before. Oh, yeah, uh-huh

Okay

Does Jesus crown of thorns still exist relics of the crown are found in the various places including Rome

But the best known however is a Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, France

In the fire of 2019 which almost destroyed Notre Dame

It was successfully rescued from the roof before the roof collapsed

uh, and so

Well, I'm glad it was I think it was a brave Catholic priest that did that wow

Yes, I believe so yeah, it's kind of so where is where is Jesus buried now

Jesus was resurrected and his body is in heaven

Oh, he's gone. That's right and he's sat in every golden tabernacle around the world

He's raining as our Eucharistic King yep. What does the passion of Jesus mean?

The passion is the greatest act of love in the history of mankind

Jesus sacrificed himself

For the sake of each one of us in Romans 5.8 it says quote God shows his love for us

And that while we were yet sinners

Christ died for us and what was the reason for Jesus's passion? Okay, and the catechism of the Catholic church paragraphs

613 to 614 says Christ death is both the Paschal sacrifice that accomplishes the definitive redemption of men

Through the Lamb of God who takes away the sins the sin of the world and the sacrifice of the new covenant

Which restores man to communion with God by reconciling him to God through the blood of the covenant

Which was poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins

The sacrifice of Christ is unique it completes and surpasses all other sacrifices

First it is a gift from God the father himself for the father handed a son over to sinners in order to

reconcile us with himself at the same time

It is the offering of the son of God made man who is in

Who in freedom and love offered his life to his father through the Holy Spirit and

Reparation for our disobedience any men and family that's a wrap

Remember go to your good Friday service today. Yes
