​Episode 35: Fr. Henchey begins a discussion of the Agony according to St. Matthew which emphasizes its ecclesial dimension. Drawing on Zc. 13:7, “I shall strike the Shepherd and the flock shall be scattered,” Matthew emphasizes that this is the “hour when God’s will shall be done.” While the Shepherd is struck and the flock scattered, it shall also be reunited, which is a message the Church needs to hear in her struggles throughout the ages.
