In this heartfelt episode of Hollywood Live, Tanya Hart honors the legendary Quincy Jones, a powerhouse in the entertainment industry and a steadfast champion of civil rights for over seven decades. Born in Chicago, Quincy's career began in the 1950s as a jazz arranger and conductor, quickly expanding to include pop music and film scores. He produced hits for artists like Leslie Gore and collaborated with jazz greats like Frank Sinatra and Count Basie. In 1968, Quincy became the first African American nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, achieving two nominations in the same year with his work in Banning and In Cold Blood. Quincy's influence reached new heights with his production of Michael Jackson's iconic albums Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. He also produced and conducted the historic charity single “We Are the World,” which raised millions for famine relief in Ethiopia. Tanya reflects on her first encounter with Quincy during her Boston TV show Coming Together and the wisdom he shared that continues to inspire her. With a legacy that includes recent projects, such as a documentary produced with Debbie Allen, Quincy Jones' impact will be felt for generations. Tanya extends heartfelt condolences to his family and friends and celebrates the indelible mark he left on the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gail Hoff Brown is a conservative working mother, journalist, and military spouse. She most recently served alongside her husband Scott Brown as president Donald Trump's ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa. While in New Zealand, she was elected to serve as President of the Diplomatic Spouses Association. She is also a grandmother with a lifelong career of service. She worries about the future of our nation under the Biden Administration, which is intent on eroding our freedoms at home and our strength around the globe. I met Gail many years ago, as she was a journalist at one of the larger Boston TV stations, and I was always amazed by her charisma, beauty, intellect, and interest, as well as how well she always portrayed the stories that she was reporting on. She is running for Congress in New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District to challenge a liberal Democrat, take back the seat, and make sure that a little bit of New England sees some red. Today, Gail joins me to be the voice for strong conservative women. She discusses the consequences of how the Biden Administration is handling Covid-19, explains why spending more isn't the solution, and shares her thoughts on the vaccine mandate, particularly when it comes to children. She tells the story of how she became interested in journalism, points out the condescension of many vaccine mandate supporters, and emphasizes the need to reinstill depleted trust and hope.

Boston TV reporter interviews Flames legend Jarome Iginla about bad weather and road conditions and has no idea who he is. New York Jets fired defensive co-ordinator Gregg Williams. Seconds away from their first win, the New York Jets took an unnecessary gamble on defense -- an all-out blitz that resulted in a touchdown and a 31-28 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Instead of protecting the end zone and the sidelines with a soft zone, Williams -- known for his aggressiveness -- called a Cover 0 blitz, leaving only three defenders in man-to-man coverage.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan charged Mr. Epstein on Monday with sex trafficking, dealing an implicit rebuke to that plea agreement, which was overseen by Alexander Acosta, then the United States attorney in Miami and now President Trump’s labor secretary. The indictment in Manhattan could prompt a moment of reckoning for the Justice Department, which for years has wrestled with accusations that it mishandled the earlier case and has faced a barrage of litigation from Mr. Epstein’s accusers. In February, the Justice Department opened its own internal review into the matter. Attorney General William P. Barr said on Monday during a trip to South Carolina that he had recused himself from the case because Mr. Barr’s former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, had represented Mr. Epstein. Kevin Spacey’s accuser in a sexual assault case out of Nantucket pleaded the Fifth Amendment after he testified before a judge. Monday’s hearing focused on a cell phone containing text messages that could provide key evidence. Attorney Mitchell Garabedian told a judge the accuser was unable to locate a cell phone, so the accuser, his mother, former Boston TV anchor Heather Unruh, and his father were forced to testify about the phone’s contents, where it may be, and the authenticity of screenshots retrieved from it. Legal Expert: Prosecution In Kevin Spacey Case Needs The Cell Phone To Continue In June, a judge ordered the cell phone be turned over to State Police to give the actor’s attorneys the opportunity to recover text messages they said would support Spacey’s claims of innocence. Spacey is accused of groping a then 18-year-old at a Nantucket bar three years ago. Spacey was not present in court Monday. His attorney called for the case to be dismissed.

(RIGHT CLICK THE IMAGE TO SAVE THIS EPISODE TO YOUR COMPUTER) A new Case File focuses on actor, voiceover artist, and professional whistler Guerin Barry.  Guerin talks about his role on The Bionic Woman as the voice of the Alex 7000 computer in the episode, "Doomsday is Tomorrow".  In addition, he talks about his time with the group Sha Na Na, his appearances in various movies and television shows, his career as a professional whistler, plus a whole lot more. Comment on the episode here or write abionicpodcast@gmail.com. Guerin Barry was born in Manhattan and raised in Sunnyside Queens. He went Brooklyn Technical High School and then attended Pratt Institute for architecture. But left to go to work at a radio station in Vermont. From there, he went to Boston to study acting at the Leland Powers School of Radio, Television, and Theatre. By the time he finished acting school he was married and had a son and became a film editor for prominent Boston TV news station, WBZ. His TV work continued in New York as a producer and director for six years before he returned to acting and studied with Milton Katselas while working at an advertising agency. He ultimately moved to Los Angeles in the summer of 1975 to pursue acting full-time. Stage work led to work in commercials (he famously embodied the character of the Mercury Grand Marquis) and supporting roles in movies and guest-starring roles in television (Quincy, Simon & Simon, Step by Step), including the soft-soaked voice of "Alex 7000," the Master Computer who gives who threatens to destroy the world unless Jaime Sommers can stop him in the sensational Bionic Woman two-parter, "Doomsday Is Tomorrow." Guerin's unique voice talent also gave life to the original Dr. Theopolis in the iconic Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. He was even up for the voice of K.I.T.T. in Knight Rider but lost to William Daniels. He was also the unseen voice of the "Salem Strangler" on the popular daytime soap, Days of Our Lives. In the 80s, Guerin started a 50s band and played locally for six years, which led to an additional four years touring the globe with the acclaimed 50s rock and roll group, Sha Na Na. When he returned to Hollywood, he focused heavily on voiceover work. He's recorded a dozen audio books, and he's also found himself in the peculiar field of talking toys, for which he is the voice of thousands. Recognized as a "Professional Whistler," Guerin has whistled for many composers of TV, documentary and feature film music, promo music, music libraries and pop recordings. He also whistles live with jazz musicians. He is "On Pitch and On Time." He has whistled for the TV series, LA Law, episode titled "Whistle Stop." He is the only polyphonic whistler in the world, capable of producing two, specific and different notes at the same time. Guerin's voice can also be heard in the popular video games, War of Warcraft and Starcraft. He's appeared in Reeve Carney's music video for "Love Me, Chase Me." And he's currently the deep bass voice of the Doo-Wop group, Dukes of DooWop.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Greg Wayland, reporter for New England Cable News (NECN) Today's topics: Greg Wayland, local reporter and practicing Catholic Summary of today's show: Greg Wayland joins Scot to talk about his two decades of experience as a print and broadcast journalism, including reporting at several local Boston news outlets, as well as how he brings his Catholic faith into his reporting as well as the newsroom, not to present a bias in favor of the Church, but to ensure accurate reporting. 1st segment: Scot said today we will hear from a Catholic who works in secular media. Greg Wayland will be familiar to our listeners, having worked in television news in New England for two decades. His work at NECN allows him to work on longer stories on diverse topics. 2nd segment: Scot welcomed Greg to the show. Greg said he's been at New England Cable News (NECN) since May, 1998. He's moved around a lot. Prior to that he was at 7, 4, and 12 in Providence. He's also worked in Florida, starting in Fort Myers in 1979. There are a lot of Boston retirees in that area. At the time he arrived there it was among the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country. The television market was small, but now it's a large and glitzy market. Boston is still among the biggest local TV markets, ranked number 6. New York's local TV market is a little more national in focus. People come to work in Boston TV to stay as a destination. He began his career at the Boston Globe in print journalism. He had been in the Army during the Korean War, and when he came out he was interested in journalism and could write, so he got a job running copy at 25 years old. That worked into the possibility of doing freelance stories and then he moved to the Dedham Daily Transcript as a reporter. Greg grew up in St. Anne's in Dorchester and won an award for oratory throughout the archdiocese in high school. Meanwhile his brothers all worked in broadcast journalism, mostly in sales and behind the scenes, and when he was in his early 30's he decided to take the jump. At the time it seemed a little more glamorous, but later found out it was just as challenging as print. Scot asked the difference between print journalism and TV journalism. Greg said although newspapers are facing tough times, they're still the medium of record and set the direction of the news for the day. When a reporter covers an event, all he has is his notebook and sits through the event without worrying about images. He's usually writing for a later edition. TV news has images and words to worry about with shorter deadlines. It's also a different type of writing: fewer words, but using the pictures to tell the story. But now newspaper reporters are carrying photos and video cameras for the web, plus writing shorter versions of their long stories for web use too. And TV reporters are now writing for their websites too. It's called convergence. Scot asked Greg how much of the final story is him shaping the final version of the story. Does he shape the visuals and words? How much are other people involved in the newsroom? Greg said it's a collaborative effort. He does have a considerable amount of say in the visuals. The camera man can take direction, but they usually know what they need to get too. Greg may ask for a specific shot for something he will write about later. When they get back, some reporters have to shoot, write, and edit. Greg doesn't have to do that; he sits with an editor, logs everything he hopes to put in the story, and they drop in the soundbites. They meld it together in collaboration under tight deadlines. Scot asked how much of his assignments come from the assignment desk versus generating the stories himself. Greg said every station has editorial meetings in the morning and afternoon. They are asked for their ideas, but there's always a certain group of stories that need to be covered, from stuff that happened overnight or showed up in the Globe or Herald. Ninety percent is dictated by the exigencies of the daily news, but the reporter is always expected to give input, to say whether it will work or not, or to suggest stories. There's also heavy emphasis on breaking news or spot news, which TV news covers faster than newspapers. It's very competitive and can be things like fires or bank robberies. Scot has seen changes in emphases in local news, including more breaking news and more weather news. He's see more entertainment news, which drives higher ratings. NECN is in a slightly different spot than the network affiliates in Boston. Greg said there's always been a tension in news, including in newspapers, between the sensational and trendy versus the solid, institutional news. A newscast has to be a mix of both, because people demand both. Regarding weather, Greg said in the 24 hour news cycle, people do watch weather. The ratings always spike during the weather. Weather coverage is more sophisticated as well as are the people covering it. As for entertainment, we've grown into a celebrity culture where the foibles of celebrities are in demand. News directors think it's what people want and there's evidence it is what people want. However, Greg said NECN has remained a serious news source. They've undergone an ownership change but they remain solid. Greg said he has a light-hearted feature on Thursday nights, so he's happy to get a chance to break from the news. Scot noted his wife who grew up in Mexico thinks New Englanders are wimpy when it comes to the weather because of the perception based on how sensational weather coverage is. Scot said it also tells him how news coverage shapes the culture. The way we think about life, what we value, what we think is important is often shaped in newsrooms that decide what is relevant in the news. 3rd segment: Scot asked Greg, as a Catholic journalist, how we hear the media is biased against Catholicism, what are his reflections on that idea. Greg said every reporter brings to the job his own values and principles. He said he's often perceived in the broad media an anti-Catholic bias, but among his own colleagues he encounters a great curiosity about Catholicism as well as a benign ignorance. It often leaves him relying on his own formation in the faith to answer these questions. There's a regrettable lack of understanding of the Church about what the Church is all about, even including his Catholic colleagues. Often they have negative impressions of their own faith because of their experiences. All through the sex abuse crisis in Boston, he wouldn't have been anyplace else as a reporter. He wanted to make sure that his reporting was balanced and to influence others reporting. He was told that when his reporting was reviewed that they didn't see any bias against or in favor of the Church. He did have one circumstance where he made a mistake in his reporting that led to one of the lawyers accusing him of bias. But it was the lack of true understanding of what the Church is about. People have lost an understanding of the Church as mystical body of Christ and have reduced the Church to an institution that serves the poor. Scot said it's wonderful to have someone who understands this can have a voice in the newsroom, to make sure that the stories are right. Greg pointed out that bias can be conscious or unconscious, so you just strive for objectivity on the surface. He also strives to avoiding simple errors that lead to accusations of bias. Scot said in his own experience, giving interviews to the media, is a wonderful tool to get the word out to Catholics who might not be attending Mass. It's a powerful tool to tell our story. Greg said he proposed a story once on the anniversary of Humanae Vitae, on human life, including birth control and abortion and other life issues. He had the time and leeway to make the Church's position crystal clear, including things people would not necessarily know. He even brought in topics like natural family planning. Scot asked him about some his other favorite stories he's covered. Greg said he likes stories about people. He once covered the US bishops' conference in DC after the sex abuse scandal broke. He got a sit-down interview with Cardinal Law at the time, as well as Cardinal George of Chicago. After that he was sent to cover the Pope in 2008 in New York City. One of the greatest stories he covered was when Pope John Paul II was dying. He was sent at the last-minute to cover the death and funeral. As soon as they arrived, they got news that the Pope had died. They did live-shots through the night, going 17 hours straight. He covered 9/11, days after the event happened. It was both horrible and memorable, but also inspirational to see the people pulling together in New York. 4th segment: Scot asked Greg about the way people responded to John Paul's death in Rome. People stood in a line more than a mile long to see the body of the Pope lying in state. He talked to many people in line, including people who'd come by bus and train from across Europe, sleeping in the streets, even whole families. When he came back, his colleagues told him that they understood better now. Of course, as life returns to normal, you still see those old biases and that's where you have to continue to be a witness. Scot said when the archdiocese launched The Light Is On For You, the only local reporter to cover the opening Mass was Greg. He was able to explain the sacrament of reconciliation and its context in addition to interviewing Cardinal Sean. Scot said he has no doubt that story helped Catholics realize their need to go confession. Scot said we're blessed to have someone who's informed in the faith to tell that story. Greg said well before the crisis here in Boston, he wanted to cover the story of the decline in the Church, people not going to Mass, the teaching of the faith drying up. The most influential institution in the world losing its grip in the US. He never got a chance to do that story before the scandal broke, but in the end he was able to do the stories on John Paul's death and the visit of Pope Benedict. One of the biggest crises in the Church is the low participation of Catholics in their faith and the decline of religion and faith generally. Scot asked Greg how he sees the diminishment and what prescription he might offer as something to think about. When he was working in Tampa, he and a Jewish colleague went into the morning meeting and the colleague suggested that covering the introduction of the new Catechism is an important story. It can seem consequential to cover the Church for people outside the Church. He said it's important to sanctify your daily work and be a good example in your own life. By those means, you can turn people around one at a time. He had an acquaintance who was a lifelong Catholic ask him it was required to go to Mass every Sunday. There's been a huge dropoff in knowledge of the faith since Vatican II. Scot said we haven't done the job as the Church to explain what is expected of Catholics with regard to going to Mass. We haven't shown the joy that comes from regular practice of the faith. Greg did a story on the revival of the Traditional Latin Mass in Boston and he found great interest in the story among his colleagues and viewers. He's found that celebration of the Mass since Vatican II has not been as consistent in many places and it even drove him away for a time. Scot said as we pray, we believe and so how we celebrate the Mass is key to how we live our faith.

Also, this coming Sunday's readings for Mass.**A summary of today's show:** John Monahan, host of CatholicTV's ClearVoice **1st segment:** Scot welcomes Fr. Mark. Scot notes today is Red Sox opening day at home. He suggests listeners turn up WQOM, turn on the TV and turn down the volume there. Fr. Mark went to the funeral of Msgr. Daly, who had served 36 years at the seminary. He was the rector of the seminary when Fr. Mark was there in 1986-1990. He said Cardinal Seán was there as well as 60 priests. Fr. Mark said it was a beautiful turnout.Scot notes that homilist at priests' funerals is a friend of the priest. At this funeral, Msgr. James McCune was the homilist. At the end of priest's funeral, all the priests gather around the casket and sing the Salve Regina as they accompany the casket to the hearse.**2nd segment:** Scot and Fr. Mark welcome John Monahan to the program. Scot notes that John's voice is familiar to CatholicTV and Fox25 viewers. John grew up in Dorchester in St. Brendan's parish and went to BC High School. Studied communications at UMass Amherst. After graduation he worked at Boston University on a half-hour news show for a cable-access news show.He wanted to move to California to pursue his career in broadcast journalism. He brought resume tapes to about 10 stations in California and Oregon. He got a call from a station in Monterey, California. Fr. Mark asked how much John's natural voice opens doors? He said the voice has never been a big part of his success. TV news is so subjective that you can't guess what will grab a station manager's attention. His first job in Monterey was doing the farm report because he looked like he grew up on the farm and a Midwesterner.He never intended to move back to Boston. He had wanted to move up to a larger market than Monterey and had been focusing on Los Angeles and San Francisco. His agent sent out tapes and he happened to get a call from the station manager at WB56. When the manager found out he went to BC High across the street, he had the job. He was there for 3 years, starting out on a morning show. He moved to Fox 25 and was there for 4-1/2 years.Scot asked what his favorite stories were. John said he liked the feature stories, digging down deep and getting to know a person and telling their story. He also loved covering breaking news, the heat of the moment. He covered the infamous "shoe bomber" story, the terrorist on the plane who had tried to blow up the plane and the plane was diverted to Boston. Scot asked what it's like to cover breaking news? Is it competitive or collaborative?He said they want to get the story, but there is collaboration. You help someone else so they're not completely left behind, but you don't put your own story in jeopardy. He loved working in spontaneous situations.Fr. Mark said sometimes when he knows the story, often a reporter will blow up a small kernel into something awful. John said the reporter is always trying to find the conflict in the story, the juxtaposition, to entice the viewer and draw them in. Some stations do this to a greater degree than others. The news used to be more objective, but the competition is so fierce today.You prepare yourself for horrendous situations by preparing yourself and eventually learning to stay somewhat detached. Often there is black humor to help themselves deal with it. Scot asked if there's any kind of post-traumatic stress. John recalls a story about a Christmas tree that caught fire and killed the babysitter and three kids. He can't forget the screams of the mother on hearing what happened.Fr. Mark asked if its hard as a Catholic to cover some of the news that relate to his faith. John said he tries to put the story in its most objective light. You can't control what the anchors say, but he can control the content of the report.**3rd segment:** How did ClearVoice start? John had been talking with Fr. Robert Reed, director of CatholicTV, about the show for a while. ClearVoice is a newsmagazine show. The difference from a news show is that a news show is events of the day. A newsmagazine is more in-depth, more lighthearted, not so much about the current events. They had the CBS Sunday Morning show in mind, in-depth profiles of people and lighthearted segments.They've had 19 shows so far. He was particularly happy with the shows about Christmas time. The March for Life was a big story for them as well. They interviewed former Sen. Rick Santorum recently as well as chastity speaker Jason Evert last week.John is impressed by CatholicTV and its high quality. The environment is much nicer than when he worked in news. They have amazing technology. Their set is a wall of 24 high-definition televisions. You don't see sets like this even in secular stations. It can be one big screen or 24 individual screens or any combination.ClearVoice is aiming at a national market, not just the Boston area. Catholic TV now serves 25% of the United States and 75 cities. It's the second-largest Catholic TV network after EWTN.They get reports from Rome each from [Rome Reports](http://www.romereports.com), [H2O](http://www.h2onews.org) and [Catholic News Service](http://www.catholicnews.com), which CatholicTV has an arrangement with. Kevin NElson, the executive producer of the show, goes through all the content to choose the right stories. They broadcast on Thursday nights.John's co-host is Christine Caswell, who is also a veteran of Boston TV news. They'd known each other as acquaintances in their previous careers. Her day job manages the interns at [Boston University's school of communications](http://www.bu.edu/com/), which is how Fr. Reed got to know her.John hopes that ClearVoice becomes even more relevant to the news that is going on the week of broadcast. He's also looking for more in-depth features. He'd love to have Cardinal Seán on the show. He has a lot of admiration for Archbishop Dolan in New York. But he'd also like to interview regular local people, like the guy who plays the flute at noon Mass at Mission Church.This is the first newsmagazine on any Catholic network in North America. John said it says a lot about CatholicTV and where Fr. Reed wants to take it. It indicates the future growth of the network nationally and internationally.All the recorded shows are available at CatholicTV.com.**4th segment:** John now has his own communications consulting firm where he advises corporations on communications skills. Scot asked what are some of the ways to overcome the fear of public speaking?John said preparation is important. He was in Chicago early in his career and he still nervous about being on-air. He met this anchor who was cool as cucumber on air. When he asked the man how this guy wasn't nervous, and he told John that of course he's nervous. In fact, everyone is nervous, but many people turn that around and turn it into energy and excitement. If you've prepared enough, including practice what you're going to say, you own the words. You write it out by hand to help you remember it.Scot asked what high-level businessmen are asking for help with? John's biggest skill is taking a lot of information and boiling it down to the essential nuggets. He also helps them translate written speeches into a conversational tone and make them into a good narrative. Give it a beginning and an end that reach the same point to bring everything full circle.Fr. Mark asked what makes a good homily as a communicator? John said it's about intertwining a story with the message. Facts alone are difficult to digest, but people remember a story. Fr. Mark said some priests can't land the plane; you think they're ending the homily and then go off again. John said sometimes they don't even know they're doing it. But then keep a phrase or idea in mind so that when you get to that, you know to wrap up and end.Scot said that you have to prepare the close as much as you prepare the open and the content. John said the speaker should finish in a way that people remember what you said.Fr. Mark said he's never begun a homily with "In today's Gospel..." because by the time he says Gospel they're asleep. John agreed that you have to have something memorable to grab their attention.John mostly works with mid- to upper-level management, also sales groups. He also helps train with media management. He recently worked with Stonehill College.He also has tips for communicating during job interviews. Have a beginning, middle, and end. Who are you? What's your background, your skills, your traits? Then offer a summary. And finally anticipate what kind of questions you'll get from the interviewer and practice your answers. Scot noted that many people are humble and shy about talking about themselves so they aren't used to it. John said to find a friend or family member to act out the interview.**5th segment:** Scot and Fr. Mark will look at the Gospel for the Fifth Sunday of Lent. This the story of Lazarus from the Gospel of John* [Sunday's Mass readings](http://www.usccb.org/nab/041011.shtml): Ez 37:12-14, Ps 130:1-8, Rom 8:8-11, Jn 11:1-45 or 11:3-7, 17, 20-27, 33b-45>The sisters of Lazarus sent word to Jesus, saying, “Master, the one you love is ill.” When Jesus heard this he said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that he was ill, he remained for two days in the place where he was.Then after this he said to his disciples, +Let us go back to Judea.”>>When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise.” Martha said, “I know he will rise, in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life;  whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.”>>He became perturbed and deeply troubled, and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Sir, come and see.”And Jesus wept.  So the Jews said, “See how he loved him.” But some of them said, “Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man have done something so that this man would not have died?”>>So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay across it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”Martha, the dead man's sister, said to him,  “Lord, by now there will be a stench;  he has been dead for four days.”  Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”  So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me; but because of the crowd here I have said this, that they may believe that you sent me.” And when he had said this, He cried out in a loud voice, >“Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth.>>So Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.” Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what he had done began to believe in him.Scot said the Church wants us to reflect on this just before we attend to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus during Holy Week. John is struck by the faith of Mary and Martha.Fr. Mark said Jesus is weeping because He understands the human experience and pain and suffering. He knows that death hurts those who are left. Scot said he didn't realize before that Jesus was risking His own life going to Bethany. Fr. Mark said we remember Thomas as the doubter, but here he is the one who stands up and says, "Let's go with him to die with Him."The four days in the tomb is significant because of an ancient belief that the soul stayed with the body for three days, so St. John is conveying that Lazarus is really and truly dead.St. John is also recalling the Book of Genesis. God speaks and creation happens. Here the Word of God speaks and He conquers death. His Word is so powerful that something so impossible can happen.It's easy for us to know Jesus is divine, but when Jesus weeps for Lazarus and for the mourners, it reinforces His humanity.Jesus delays and Lazarus dies. So Lazarus' suffering glorifies God and that is a lesson for those who suffer and believes God is delaying.Jesus also challenges Martha if she believes that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. This is a question presented to all of us.
