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.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-17T08:17:03.005151+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948"},"episode":{"title":"Memorial of Mary, Mother of the Church - John 19: 25-34","slug":"memorial-of-mary-mother-of-the-church-john-19-25-34","published_at":"2026-05-24T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948/memorial-of-mary-mother-of-the-church-john-19-25-34","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daily-gospel-exegesis/episodes/Memorial-of-Mary--Mother-of-the-Church---John-19-25-34-e1dh9lc","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/1025ef1c/podcast/play/46752876/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-5-7%2F556796a9-17b4-7ec9-955a-b6736644f33b.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 19: 25-34 - 'Behold your Son.

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 544 (in 'The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God') - Jesus shares the life of the poor, from the cradle to the cross; he experiences hunger, thirst and privation (abbreviated). - 607 (in 'Christ's whole life is an offering to the Father') - From the cross, just before \"It is finished\", he said, \"I thirst.\" (abbreviated). - 2561 (in 'What is Prayer?') - Prayer is the response of faith to the free promise of salvation and also a response of love to the thirst of the only Son of God (abbreviated). - 2605 (in 'Jesus Prays') - When the hour had come for him to fulfill the Father's plan of love, Jesus allows a glimpse of the boundless depth of his filial prayer, not only before he freely delivered himself up (“Abba . . . not my will, but yours.\"), but even in his last words on the Cross, where prayer and the gift of self are but one: \"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do\", \"Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise\", \"Woman, behold your son\" - \"Behold your mother\", \"I thirst.\"; \"My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?\" \"It is finished\"; \"Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!\" until the \"loud cry\" as he expires, giving up his spirit. - 624 (in 'Jesus Christ was Buried') - \"By the grace of God\" Jesus tasted death \"for every one\".
