A great friend of Paving The Way Home is Fr. Bill O'Shaughnessy from the Archdiocese of Dublin who has contributed to this Podcast in the past. Fr. Bill has founded a new media project called Patricius Ministries. Fr. Bill has kindly given us permission to use some of his material and I highly recommend that you listen to it. It is truly golden.
In this episode Fr. Bill does a very detailed analysis of the physical pain suffered by Jesus on the Cross. Let me warn you in advance that it is quite gruesome and graphic, yet reveals to us just how much Jesus loved each one of us by enduring this horrific torture. This comes in perfect timing ahead of Good Friday tomorrow.
