Fr. Thomas Keating explores the profoundness of the Paschal Mystery, which is manifested in the celebration of Holy Week. As keys to this mystery, he explores two scripture passages: the story of Mary and Martha and the raising of Lazarus, and the woman washing his feet with precious oils. He then leads us into the insights of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Our challenge is to open ourselves to becoming God, not on our terms, but on God's terms, as God's sons and daughters.

For Part Two and the Q&A session, go to    • Living the Paschal Mystery:  Hope and...  . These talks were recorded in 2007 in Austin, Texas.
