In this Commentary Clip, Tony discusses the experience of St. Peter at the empty tomb of Jesus, and how it reveals to us that the journey of Christian Faith must pass through the tomb of Jesus Christ. For, only by descending with Christ are we able to ascend with Him, and thereby discover who God has created us to be.
