One of the keys to learning for me is to put yourself in the mindset that whatever is in front of you truly has something you have not heard of before or at least something you have heard of but has not quite sunk in yet. I have been going to mass for multiple decades and I went to Catholic school for all my elementary and high school. There are always words and passages in the Gospel that I thought I knew and I really do not. Today's lesson does not disappoint.
In this week's podcast listen for:
- The symbolism of Jerusalem and the contrast with Hollywood.
- The theme of opposition , rejection in Christ's life on Earth.
- The vengeful disciples.
- What is wrong with the concept of being born again.
- Why does the Son of Man have nowhere to rest his head?
- Let the dead bury the dead? How and why?
- Perplexing symbolism at the end of the Gospel .
- What is true freedom?
I was glad to be there to hear this talk and through the magic of the Internet you can too.
