The Quest Atlanta Catholic Radio

Producer’s Note: We aired special EWTN Good Friday programming on today’s broadcast. The hour below is additional programming we have made available to help us dive deeper into the mysteries of the Triduum.

Segment 1: Good Friday, Death, and Christian Life (2 segments)

It’s late afternoon on Good Friday. Jesus’ task has been accomplished. Mary has wept at the foot of the cross, and now weeps as Jesus lies in the tomb – and we weep with her. But we also must not stop there. For beyond the cross of Good Friday is Christ’s Resurrection on Easter morning. Randall Smith joins us.

Segment 2: Pain, Suffering, and Redemption: Where Faith and Reason Mingle (2 segments)

Why does God allow pain and suffering? Why did he allow his Son to suffer on the cross for us? We discuss pain, suffering and redemption with Dr. Stephen Doran.

Support The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

The Catechism wraps up its discussion surrounding Article 5 of the Creed (“He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead”) and asks the question, “What does Jesus’ resurrection mean for me?” Fr. Mike points out that Christ’s resurrection proves—definitively—that he is the only begotten Son of God. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 651-658.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
