Taylor Kemp and Dr. Christopher Blum, Provost of the Graduate School of Theology, introduce a Lenten series preached by Cardinal Karol Wojtyla-later Pope John Paul II-compiled into a single volume and recently brought back into print.
This retreat walks listeners and viewers through major themes of the Gospel and above all into an encounter with the "sign of contradiction" (Luke 2:34)-Jesus Christ. Cardinal Wojtyla confronts us all with a choice that must be made-do we believe that Jesus is "the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16) or is he not? This is the contradiction that we all must wrestle with and will, ultimately, determine the direction our lives take in the present and the life to come.
