April 3, 2026 - Hour 2

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. This is a public episode.
