Episode Details

Fr. Billy Swan presents the Breakfast Show from Rome on Spy Wednesday, the eve of the Easter Triduum. Opening by sharing a recent visit to the Convent of St. Mark in Florence, where Fra Angelico’s frescoes each include a Dominican friar actively present in the gospel scene, he uses this as a lens for exploring participation as one of the three pillars of the synodal church.

He argues that we are not called to follow Jesus at a safe distance but to be written into the drama of his death and resurrection as active participants. He then offers a rich meditation on Mary Magdalene, whose life he describes as a window through which we see God’s grace triumphant in a person in need of healing, and whose feast day Pope Francis elevated in the jubilee year of mercy as a call to reflect on the dignity of women, the new evangelisation and the greatness of divine mercy.
