The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John provide a comprehensive portrait of Jesus Christ. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels due to their similar narrative order and shared content. John's Gospel is distinct and includes much unparalleled information. Each Gospel was written for different audiences and emphasizes different aspects of Jesus' mission and teachings[1][2][3].
Fr. Patrick and Fr. Joseph-Anthony take us to the Day of Recollection in Dallas, Texas to discuss meditation and devotions they recommend to the Passion of Christ in this bonus episode of Godsplaining.
