By Bishop Albert M. Bahhuth

"Are you aware of this great gift that Jesus did for us, that God himself chose to die on the cross — the most painful and humiliating death? That you and I, despite our sinfulness, our weaknesses, one day can inherit eternal life?" Bishop Albert asks us for the 36th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast. "That's why it matter to us 2,000 years later. This is why it should matter: Because you and I can have eternal life if we follow the way of Jesus. And it's not the way of suffering death; but it's the way of love, of self-giving. Jesus really gave us his life so we can have eternal life."
