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":"Thursday of Week 11 in Ordinary Time - Matt 6: 7-15","slug":"thursday-of-week-11-in-ordinary-time-matt-6-7-15","published_at":"2026-06-17T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948/thursday-of-week-11-in-ordinary-time-matt-6-7-15","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daily-gospel-exegesis/episodes/Thursday-of-Week-11-in-Ordinary-Time---Matt-6-7-15-ef7rc2","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/1025ef1c/podcast/play/14986050/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-9-25%2Faf23eaff-fa07-16da-1229-fa6fd70d6a22.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 6: 7-15 - 'How to pray.' Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 2759-2856 - Entire section of the Catechism which covers the Our Father. - 2608 (in 'Jesus teaches us how to pray') - From the Sermon on the Mount onwards, Jesus insists on conversion of heart: reconciliation with one's brother before presenting an offering on the altar, love of enemies, and prayer for persecutors, prayer to the Father in secret, not heaping up empty phrases, prayerful forgiveness from the depths of the heart, purity of heart, and seeking the Kingdom before all else. This filial conversion is entirely directed to the Father. - 2668 (in 'Prayer to Jesus') - The invocation of the holy name of Jesus is the simplest way of praying always. When the holy name is repeated often by a humbly attentive heart, the prayer is not lost by heaping up empty phrases, but holds fast to the word and \"brings forth fruit with patience.\" This prayer is possible \"at all times\" because it is not one occupation among others but the only occupation: that of loving God, which animates and transfigures every action in Christ Jesus. - 443 (in 'The Only Son of God') - He distinguished his sonship from that of his disciples by never saying \"our Father\", except to command them: \"You, then, pray like this: 'Our Father'\", and he emphasized this distinction, saying \"my Father and your Father\" (abbreviated) - 2736 (in 'Filial Trust') - Are we asking God for \"what is good for us\"? Our Father knows what we need before we ask him, but he awaits our petition because the dignity of…","meta_description":"To support the ministry and access exclusive content, go to: ⁠⁠⁠http://patreon.com/logicalbiblestudy⁠⁠⁠ For complete verse-by-verse audio commentaries fro…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1432,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948/episodes/thursday-of-week-11-in-ordinary-time-matt-6-7-15/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/thursday-of-week-11-in-ordinary-time-matt-6-7-15.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
