The Spurs say the Game 3 National Anthem performer at Frost Bank Center will be San Antonio mariachi artist Sebastien De La Cruz. Here he is performing ahead of the team's playoff opener in 2014 against Dallas, via AP:

STEPHON CASTLE POSTER OH MY GOODNESS 🔥🔥🔥🔥

100% CORRECT

pregame vibes 🎶

The Spurs represent all that is right with pro hoops. Smaller basketball market, well run organization, rabid fandom, born thru the ABA with a rebel’s spirit. It’s one of the honors of my life to have been an original member of the San Antonio Spurs!! Por vida

Listen up, San Antonio!! Keldon here. Since it’s almost playoff time, I wrote y’all a little something from the heart just to say what this means to me. Thanks for all the love!! theplayerstribune.com/keldon-johnson…

As Jesus hung on the cross on Good Friday, He spoke seven times. Each word was deliberate. Each word was profound. Here is what He said: 1. “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) He said this while the soldiers were still nailing Him to the cross. Not after. While it was happening. His first words from the cross were a prayer for the people killing Him. 2. “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) The last person Jesus saved before He died was a convicted criminal hanging next to Him. The Church recognizes him as Saint Dismas. He asked only to be remembered. Jesus gave him Paradise. 3. “Woman, behold your son. Behold your mother.” (John 19:26-27) Nailed to the cross, Jesus looked down and entrusted His mother to John. The Church holds that in this moment Jesus was not only providing for Mary personally. He was giving her as Mother to all of humanity. 4. “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46) The only time Jesus called God “God” instead of “Father.” He was quoting Psalm 22, written by King David 1,000 years earlier. The Church is clear: this was not despair. Psalm 22 begins in suffering but ends in total triumph. Jesus was pointing His listeners to the whole psalm. 5. “I thirst.” (John 19:28) Two words. The Creator of all water, dying of thirst. Catholic teaching holds that His thirst was not only physical but a thirst for souls. Saint Teresa of Calcutta built her entire mission around these two words. 6. “It is finished.” (John 19:30) In Latin: “Consummatum est.” The debt was paid in full. The Old Covenant fulfilled. The sacrifice complete. He bowed His head and died. 7. “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 23:46) His last breath was a prayer to the Father. He came from the Father. He returned to the Father. He brought us with Him. No greater love has ever been shown.

I'd rather be an unknown here and have my name up there in Heaven !! - Jim Caviezel

a lot can happen in 3 days.

Passion of The Christ🇻🇦🩸 “Mel Gibson warned actor Jim Caviezel that playing the character of Christ was going to be very difficult and that if he accepted, he most likely would be marginalized by Hollywood. Caviezel asked for a day to think about it and his response to Mel who was funding and directing the movie was: "I think we have to make it, even if it is difficult." And something else, my initials are J.C., and I am 33 years old. "I didn't realize that until now." Mel responded with “You're really scaring me you know.” During filming, Jim Caviezel who plays the part of Jesus lost 45 pounds, he was struck by lightning, he was accidentally struck twice during the scourging scene leaving a deep 14-inch scar, he dislocated his shoulder when the cross was dropped into the hole with him on the cross. He then suffered pneumonia and hypothermia from being nearly naked with only a loin cloth on the cross for endless hours. The crucifixion scene alone took 5 weeks of the 2 months of shooting. His body was so stressed and exhausted from playing the role that he had to undergo two open heart surgeries after the filming production. Jim explained, “I didn’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Conversions will happen through that.” Almost like a clairvoyant prediction many amazing things happened. Pedro Sarubbi, who played Barabbas, felt that it was not Caviezel who was looking at him, but Jesus Christ himself, as he played that role he said of Caviezel, “His eyes had no hatred or resentment towards me, only mercy and love." Luca Lionello, the artist who played Judas, was an avowed atheist before shooting began. He eventually converted, and baptized his children. One of the main technicians working on the film was a Muslim converted to Christianity. Some producers said they saw actors dressed in white they didn’t recognize during one of the filming sessions, and when they reviewed the recordings they realized they couldn’t see them in that footage. The Passion of the Christ is the highest grossing US religious as well as the highest R-rated film of all time, with $370.8 million! Worldwide, it grossed $611 million. More importantly, it has reached 100’s of millions of people around the world. Mel Gibson paid $30 million out of his own pocket for the production of the film because no studio would take on the project. Today Jim Caviezel simply and boldly proclaims his faith in Christ, and the miracle it was for him to represent Christ as an actor and a greater believer of Christ because of this experience.

@Adam_FaithfulM You must watch how this preacher explains the sufferings Jesus went through…wow😭😭
