What place does mercy have in our Catholic life? Fr. Declan McNicholas joins Bobby and Khalil to discuss Divine Mercy Sunday, mercy and justice, and the question of why Jesus came to die.

We also take up the Shroud of Turin and questions about the Passion narrative. The conversation includes the relationship between the Sacred Heart and Divine Mercy, an email about a St. Faustina relic, and the question of why 3 p.m. matters to Divine Mercy devotion.
