In this special Good Friday episode, Patrick Madrid guides listeners through the biblical, historical, and medical accounts of Jesus’ Passion and death. Patrick begins with a solemn prayer before the crucifix and moves hour by hour through the sacred Triduum, focusing on the Last Supper and the events leading up to the crucifixion on Calvary. Drawing on the eyewitness testimony of the Gospels and the forensic expertise of Dr. Pierre Barbet, Patrick offers a vivid look at the physical suffering endured by Jesus—including the agony in the garden, the brutal scourging, the crowning with thorns, the carrying of the cross, and the crucifixion.

 

Patrick also explains how Jesus’ wounds correspond to modern medical knowledge and discusses historical artifacts such as the Shroud of Turin. Listeners receive a thoughtful and moving perspective on the spiritual and physical dimensions of Christ’s sacrifice—an episode that brings Good Friday to life for people of faith and anyone interested in the story of Jesus.
