Throughout history, the Passion of Christ has been, at the very heart of our faith, a mystery of love, sacrifice and redemption. We reflect on it during Holy Week especially, and we recall it at every Mass and find strength in its message when we face suffering in our own lives.

Then hear the story of Cathy Viola, who has faced heartbreaking loss in her life yet reveals the power of trust, perseverance, and God's unfailing grace.
