Just recently, Catholics were devastated to learn of another case of sexual abuse, this time involving Jean Vanier, the esteemed founder of L’Arche and a man once considered to be a living saint. Vanier, who passed away last year, was accused of sexually assaulting six women in France, using his religious position to abuse and manipulate them. How do we make sense of all this? How can a man who produced enormous good fruit fail so abysmally? And how should Catholics respond to this sort of abuse, and prevent it from happening again? Bishop Barron offers advice on all these questions and more.

Chapter 3 Part 2: Chapter 3 continues with the story of Nicodemus and focuses on the interaction

between Jesus and Nicodemus, who struggles with understanding the meaning of being born from

above by water and spirit. Nicodemus, a teacher of the law, would have understood the significance of

his earthly lineage, yet he failed to recognize the divine lineage of Jesus Christ, who was born from

above. John 3 concludes with nuptial imagery, as John the Baptist identifies himself as the best man to

Jesus, the bridegroom. Sharon teaches us about a traditional Jewish wedding, shedding light on the

significance of John as the best man, whose role was to bear witness to the consummation of the

marriage.

With the beginning of Lent right around the corner, Brandon Vogt and I talk about this ancient period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in preparation for Easter, and offer several recommendations on how to have a more spiritually powerful Lent.
