The Catholic Church teaches that in order to understand the Scriptures, we must start with the literal sense - in other words, how the original hearers of the text would have understood it. That is our aim in this podcast - to help understand what the gospel writers (and more importantly, Jesus) were intending to communicate in today's reading, as well as providing links to the Catechism. Each episode is short and designed to be listened to before or after attending daily Mass. This podcast follows the calendar and Mass readings for the General Roman Lectionary. Therefore, all Gospel readings are taken from The Jerusalem Bible, published and copyright © 1966, 1967 and 1968 by Hodder & Stoughton and by Doubleday, a division of Random House, Inc.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T08:17:31.047757+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948"},"episode":{"title":"Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene - John 20: 1-2, 11-18","slug":"feast-of-saint-mary-magdalene-john-20-1-2-11-18","published_at":"2026-07-21T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948/feast-of-saint-mary-magdalene-john-20-1-2-11-18","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daily-gospel-exegesis/episodes/Feast-of-Saint-Mary-Magdalene---John-20-1-2--11-18-egqnnb","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/1025ef1c/podcast/play/16653483/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-27%2F8d0a15eb-78f2-4366-07cf-06cf2f124071.mp3","summary":"To support the ministry and access exclusive content, go to: ⁠⁠http://patreon.com/logicalbiblestudy⁠⁠ For complete verse-by-verse audio commentaries from Logical Bible Study, go to: ⁠⁠https://mysoundwise.com/publishers/1677296682850p John 20: 1-2, 11-18 - 'Mary, go and find the brothers and tell them.' Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 640-641 (in 'The Empty Tomb') - Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.\" The first element we encounter in the framework of the Easter events is the empty tomb. In itself it is not a direct proof of Resurrection; the absence of Christ's body from the tomb could be explained otherwise. Nonetheless the empty tomb was still an essential sign for all. Its discovery by the disciples was the first step toward recognizing the very fact of the Resurrection. This was the case, first with the holy women, and then with Peter...Mary Magdalene and the holy women who came to finish anointing the body of Jesus, which had been buried in haste because the Sabbath began on the evening of Good Friday, were the first to encounter the Risen One. Thus the women were the first messengers of Christ's Resurrection for the apostles themselves (abbreviated). - 645 (in 'The Condition of Christ's risen humanity) - By means of touch and the sharing of a meal, the risen Jesus establishes direct contact with his disciples. He invites them in this way to recognize that he is not a ghost and above all to verify that the risen body in which he appears to them is the same body that had been tortured and crucified, for it still bears the traces of his Passion. Yet at the same time this authentic, real body possesses the new properties of a glorious body: not limited by space and time but able to be present how and when he wills…","meta_description":"To support the ministry and access exclusive content, go to: ⁠⁠http://patreon.com/logicalbiblestudy⁠⁠ For complete verse-by-verse audio commentaries from…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1516,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948/episodes/feast-of-saint-mary-magdalene-john-20-1-2-11-18/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948/feast-of-saint-mary-magdalene-john-20-1-2-11-18.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
