I viewed at 12:01 AM Ash Wednesday and again at 1:45PM. The risen Lord is in both films. Though if you got up and left before the credits rolled, you would have missed it.

as to Mel's "missed a grand opportunity".....in my humble opinion he hit it on the mark in spades!

if you watched any of the interviews with Mel and the other actresses and actors, on EWTN's World Over Live you'd know this. The Passion by definition of Our Lord Jesus was the 12 hours of His betrayal, ridicule, mockery, scourgeing (torture) and crucifixion. Some of us would rather not have to look at the absolute horror of what WE did to the most Gental, Loving, Meek and Forgiving person to ever walk this planet among us. To turn and look away from this absolute act Self-Sacrifice - Love for us is missing the grander opportunity.

I'll never be able to repay Him for his sacrifice ofHimself for me (all of us if we so choose)!

To turn and look away from this absolute act of Unconditional Love is the greater missed opportunity.
