In this episode, we explore the haunting and redemptive story of St. James of Persia, whom the Church remembers as Intercisus. St. James was a man who rose to influence in the Sasanian court in the Fourth Century. He denied Christ to preserve his status in the king's court, but was relentlessly tormented by his inner being until he could no longer endure the fracture inside his soul.
We'll explore how St. James' journey mirrors the tragic path of Judas Iscariot. Yet, unlike Judas, St. James ultimately turns in a different direction. Both men denied Christ, yet where Judas dissolved into despair, St. James allowed his conviction to lead him back to repentance, courage, and spiritual wholeness — even at the cost of his life.
