As we moved through Holy Week and Good Friday, Jesus’ impending death and crucifixion loomed large, casting a deep, dark shadow, only to explode into a burst of light on Easter morning. Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection set the pattern for all who follow him. But what will it be like, to walk through the valley of the shadow of death? And what is our final destination?
Plus, listener questions:
1) The bible says the Holy Family fled to Egypt after Joseph was warned in a dream. Herod then has all male children under two killed. I have heard they were in Egypt for seven years, but Jesus is presented at the temple as an infant when we hear of Simeon and Anna. My question is how long were they in Egypt, did they present Jesus before going?
2) What does the Catholic bible say about the rapture?
