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":"Monday of Week 15 in Ordinary Time - Matt 10:34-11:1","slug":"monday-of-week-15-in-ordinary-time-matt-10-34-11-1","published_at":"2026-07-12T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948/monday-of-week-15-in-ordinary-time-matt-10-34-11-1","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daily-gospel-exegesis/episodes/Monday-of-Week-15-in-Ordinary-Time---Matt-1034-111-eggnjq","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/1025ef1c/podcast/play/16325690/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-5-7%2Fdff1c974-e3ac-9119-17a3-7caf9eac6bfd.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 Matthew 10:34-11:1 - 'It is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword.' Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 2232 (in 'The Family and the Kingdom') - Family ties are important but not absolute. Just as the child grows to maturity and human and spiritual autonomy, so his unique vocation which comes from God asserts itself more clearly and forcefully. Parents should respect this call and encourage their children to follow it. They must be convinced that the first vocation of the Christian is to follow Jesus: \"He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.\" - 1506 (in 'Heal the Sick') - Christ invites his disciples to follow him by taking up their cross in their turn (abbreviated). - 858 (in 'The Apostles' Mission') - Jesus is the Father's Emissary. From the beginning of his ministry, he \"called to him those whom he desired; .... and he appointed twelve, whom also he named apostles, to be with him, and to be sent out to preach.\" From then on, they would also be his \"emissaries\" (Greek apostoloi). In them, Christ continues his own mission: \"As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.\" The apostles' ministry is the continuation of his mission; Jesus said to the Twelve: \"he who receives you receives me.\" Got a Bible question?
