Passion Easter

For the first time, the final twenty-four hours of Jesus’ life have been set into twenty-four, hour-by-hour sections Twenty-four hours is one turn of the Earth on its axis. Most days blend into each other, but one day changed the world forever – The day Jesus the Son of God died. All events in history prior to it led to that point and all events since then have led from that point. 24 – Jesus’ Final Hours is Part 2 of ‘The Chronology of Jesus’ Life’ series. It will change the way people see his death and the way they see the God who became man. The revelation of what he ...

Jesus' final days were full of risk. Every move he made was filled with anticipation, danger, and the potential for great loss or great reward. Jesus risked his reputation when he entered Jerusalem in a victory parade. He risked his life when he dared to teach in the Temple. His followers risked everything when they left behind their homes or anointed him with costly perfume. We take risks as we read and reread these stories, finding new meanings and new challenges.

“Father, Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do.” (Luke 23:34) Meditations on the First Word from the Cross by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen For years, Archbishop Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ’s Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of ...

In "A Beautiful Week," the author writes of the last week that our Beloved Savior and Lord Jesus Christ lived on this earth to draw you closer to Him and to His amazing grace and love. For you will also learn or be reminded about what He went through during that blessed Holy Week before His ascending unto the Father in Heaven, as a reminder of His love, life, death, burial and resurrection for our salvation, and deliverance from the devil. May we not only acknowledge the Lord's great love for us during Passover and Easter Week, but also all the year long. For if it wasn't for the great love...

We’ve been conditioned, from an early age, to believe that one day we’ll reach a moment of “arrival.” But no matter how much we achieve or acquire we still don’t feel as satisfied or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted, we become burned out and cynical, questioning the purpose of it all.

Each of the four Gospels tells only part of the story of Jesus...and all of them leave out background facts that are essential to understanding events surrounding Jesus' arrest, trial, and crucifixion. Which is why Fr. Ralph Gorman has here crafted a single, unforgettable, detailed account that combines material from all four Gospels with critically important Old Testament passages, plus relevant facts from Jewish and Roman history, laws, traditions, and practices.

This work is a paraphrase of selected passages from the four Gospels of Jesus Christ. The passages record the events of the last week of the ministry of Jesus on earth. The passages are from the King James Version. The language was updated, and the events were placed in what I believe to be the chronological order. I do not say this is the exact order in which the events occurred, but only the order suggested to me by my studying of the text. The last week of Jesus’ ministry on earth is known as Passion week. The events of this week are called the Passion of Christ. He had two passions, ...
