The Scars of the Lamb


Listen Later

In this profound meditation, Archbishop Fulton Sheen explores the mystery of the Lamb of God and the significance of His wounds. He traces the theme of sacrifice from the beginning of creation, noting that Christ is pictured as already slain from the foundations of the world. Sheen asks a haunting question that echoes through history: "Where is the Lamb?" This inquiry, first voiced by Isaac on his way to Mount Moriah, becomes a bridge across the centuries, connecting the ancient sacrifices of Israel to the ultimate, perfect sacrifice of Calvary.


Sheen recounts the dramatic moment when the risen Lord appears to the disciples, showing them the wounds in His hands and feet. He vividly illustrates the permanence of these scars, suggesting that even in His glorified state, Christ chooses to bear the marks of His passion. He explains that these scars are not merely historical relics but are the very means by which we recognize our Savior. Sheen challenges his listeners to consider the state of their own souls, asking whether they, too, bear the marks of service, sacrifice, and love for God. He reflects on the nature of a heart "scarred in love," emphasizing that these wounds are the true evidence of a life lived for the sake of others.


This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Christ’s redemptive work. Sheen’s ability to weave together Old Testament typology with the reality of the Resurrection provides a fresh perspective on the meaning of suffering. By focusing on the scars of the Lamb, he invites the faithful to find meaning in their own trials and to offer them to God as a sacrifice of love. It is a powerful reminder that our wounds, when united with Christ’s, are transformed into a source of grace and a testament to the enduring power of the cross.
