​Episode 22: Fr. Henchey takes up a more thorough description of what we know of the ancient temple of the Hebrews, comparing descriptions of the temple from Exodus, Leviticus and the Letter to the Hebrews. Descriptions of the temple are full of symbolic meaning from its location to the various parts which compose it. All of it is meant to prepare us for the New Temple which is the Body of Christ.

​Episode 21: Fr. Henchey goes more deeply into the opening of the side of Christ mentioned in John and more fully developed in the Letter to the Hebrews. He focuses on the image of Christ as an anchor of hope thrown up into the heavens in (Heb 6:19-20) and he explores the symbolism of Christ drawing all to himself up into the celestial sanctuary. He highlights the spiritual direction these passages give us as they encourage each of us to put on the mind of Christ and follow him into the very same sanctuary. May 21, 2018.

​Episode 20: Because of the importance of the Letter to the Hebrews to our understanding of the connection between the tearing of the temple veil and the opening of the side of Christ, Fr. Henchey looks specifically at Hebrews 6:19-20, 9:2ff and 10. He concludes with the image from Hebrews of Christ as an anchor thrown up into the heavens drawing all things to himself. May 14, 2018.

​Episode 19: Following up on the previous reflection, Fr. Henchey delves more deeply into both the Letter to the Hebrews and the Gospel of John and their common references to the pierced side. But, it is Hebrews which helps us to realize that the torn temple veil is the pierced side and the gateway through which Jesus passed from the sanctuary of earthy life and into the eternal one. He shows how Hebrews develops the psychology of the great high priest who rose up to celebrate forever in the celestial sanctuary. May 7, 2018.

​Episode 18: In this reflection, Fr. Henchey shows how the torn temple veil in the three synoptic Gospels gives way to the torn body of Christ in the Gospel of John. He further compares the Gospels to the Letter to the Hebrews which has the most developed theology and spirituality of the torn side of Christ, only briefly mentioned in John. He uses this to remind us that while Mark emphasizes Christology and Matthew emphasizes the Church, while Luke emphasizes prayer and John the Incarnate Word, it is Hebrews which helps us understand Christ as the great high priest of mercy.

​Episode 17: Fr. Henchey finishes his discussion of the Biblical darkness that preceded the tearing of the temple veil and begins a multi-part exploration of the meaning of this great mystery. For context, he uses the descriptions of the temple and its veil by the historian, Josephus, and compares them to the Biblical descriptions found in Mark, Luke, Matthew, and Sirach. April 23, 2018.

Episode 16: Fr. Henchey continues his discussion on darkness by comparing the description of darkness in Wisdom 17 with the darkness illuminated by the pillar of fire in Exodus 10:21-29. Further, he looks at Wisdom 17 from the perspective of the prophetic “Day of the Lord” described in Amos and Joel. Yet, as we see in Peter’s inaugural address after Pentecost in Acts 2:14-21, which also refers to darkness, those powers will not prevail. April 16, 2018.

​Episode 15: In this reflection, Fr. Henchey begins a new segment in the series with an excurses on the Biblical darkness which fell on good Friday. He starts by tracing the many references to darkness throughout the Old Testament which teach us that while physical light may be absent in the dark of night, God’s love is not. Thus, we must always live in hope. It is hope that will carry us from the darkness of Good Friday into the light-filled glory of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. April 9, 2018.

​Episode 14: Fr. Henchey considers the birth of the Church in its four “marks;” that is, One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic and ponders them in light of the open side of Christ. Then he opens a new direction in this series which will explore the rich ambivalence of Biblical “darkness” (of Holy Saturday) beginning with the “darkness” of Job. ​April 2, 2018.

​Episode 13: In this episode, Fr. Henchey continues a discussion of the question: when and how was the Church born? Using Papal writings and teachings he shows us how the Church itself was born from the wounded side of Christ and how it continues to be reborn in this way until the end of time. He concludes by explaining that we who are members of the Church will enter into eternal life through that same wounded side. March 26, 2018.
