In this episode, they focus on the moment when Jesus utters the poignant prayer, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" while on the cross.

Joe shares a transformative insight into this passage, challenging conventional interpretations and offering a fresh perspective. Rather than viewing it as an expression of personal distress, Joe suggests that Jesus might have been using this moment as a teaching tool for those around him, including his mother and disciples. This revelation sparks a conversation about the depth of Jesus' understanding of human suffering and his role as a teacher even in the midst of his own agony.

Father Boniface provides rich theological insights, exploring various interpretations of this crucial moment. He touches on the idea that Jesus, in his humanity, was entering into our experience of forsakenness, offering a unique perspective on the profound connection between Jesus and human suffering. The conversation expands to include reflections on the nature of suffering, loneliness, and the importance of embracing these experiences with faith and hope.

Join Father and Joe in this enlightening discussion that invites you to contemplate the depth of Jesus' humanity and the profound lessons embedded in his words on the cross.
