Three Kinds of People at the Cross - Which One Are You?
Join us as we discuss Fulton Sheen's reflection on those at the Cross. On Good Friday, the world was divided into three groups: the indifferent, the hateful, and the loving. Archbishop Fulton Sheen identified these as the three responses to Christ's sacrifice-and the truth is, we all fall into one of them.But there's another set of three at the Cross: Mary, Mary Magdalene, and John-representing innocence, penitence, and priesthood. Their presence shows us what it means to truly stand with Christ.In this episode, we unpack these powerful insights using Scripture, history, and real-life application.
