The "Three Hours' Agony," or Tre Ore, is a liturgical service held on Good Friday from noon to 3 p.m. to commemorate Christ's Passion. It specifically refers to the three hours that Jesus hung on the Cross and includes a series of homilies on Christ's seven final words. Timothy Cardinal Dolan invited Father Barron to preside over the Tre Ore service at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, and the content of his presentation is included here.
