S6E15: The Only Way Out is Through the Crucifixion - Free Audiobook

Today's Daily Decade, on the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord, offers prayers for the perfect healing of Michael, the young son of listener Kevin, who has a fever and cough, and for the well-being of his parents. Today's sickness prayer is drawn from the closing prayers of Extreme Unction, and we likewise beg the intercession of St. Blaise, patron of those suffering afflictions of the throat. Today's reflection is on the Crucifixion and its centrality not only to the doctrine of our Faith, but to our day-to-day lives as Christians, and how it sets Christianity apart from all other religious experiments and imaginings in how it confronts the central concern of our existence: suffering and death.
