Norbert from Wisconsin Rapids wanted the breakdown: What's the difference between a Cardinal Bishop, Cardinal Priest, and Cardinal Deacon? Patrick’s Explanation: 1. Cardinal Bishops: -These are the most senior cardinals. -They hold titular jurisdiction over ancient dioceses called the "suburbicarian sees" around Rome: places like Ostia and Porto. -They're not the real working bishops of those dioceses, more like honorary guardians. -Seniority here isn’t just about age; it’s about how long you’ve been a cardinal. 2. Cardinal Priests: Rome’s Titular Pastors -These cardinals are linked to one of Rome’s ancient churches. -It’s honorary, but each one is assigned a "titular church" to symbolize their bond with the diocese of Rome. 3. Cardinal Deacons: -Historically, these guys were the ones running the Church’s day-to-day in Rome. -After 10 years, a Cardinal Deacon can be "promoted" to Cardinal Priest. So… Are These Ranks Like Holy Orders? Nope! These don’t mean “holier” or “more sacramentally powerful.” This ranking is about honor and duty, not sacramental hierarchy. Bonus Wisdom: -The word "cardinal" comes from Latin cardo, meaning hinge.These are the “hinge men”: the inner circle who support the Pope and, when the time comes, elect the next one. As the Church preps for the conclave, Patrick reminds us: Stay close to Relevant Radio for all the upcoming news of the Conclave. Pray with us every evening at 7:00 PM CT for the Family Rosary Across America for the needs of the Church and for our leaders. You can hear the funeral coverage for Pope Francis Saturday morning at 2:50 AM CT and rebroadcasted at 12:00 PM CT later in the day on Relevant Radio.

Tra marzo e aprile 2025 una redazione composta da ragazze e ragazzi tra gli otto e i dodici anni si è incontrata al Teatro del Lido di Ostia. Ad ogni incontro i giovani giornalisti radiofonici hanno dato vita a una diretta di trenta minuti, ogni volta su un tema diverso.Il programma si intitola Sonodramma Kids ed è un laboratorio in cui ci si allena all'ascolto di ciò che ci circonda, di noi stessi e delle persone vicino a noi. Sonodramma Kids fa parte del progetto più ampio di Sonodramma, che prevede incontri, ascolti e formazioni sulla narrazione sonora contemporanea nel teatro, nel web e nelle arti performative. Il progetto è di Miaohous, con Magazzino dei Semi, Radio Perepepè e Sveja Podcast.Nel corso del primo incontro, il 16 marzo, abbiamo discusso di balene, pesci e altri animali del mare. Molte sono state le curiosità. La balena ha i peli sulla lingua? Può ingoiare gli esseri umani? Perché le balene cantano? E quanti tipi ce ne sono? E se il pescecane di Pinocchio avesse ingoiato un'intera isola con una piccola abitante che giocava a palla?E se Moby Dick avesse avuto un cappellino a forma di barca a vela? Tutte queste domande (e molte molte altre) le abbiamo rivolte ai passanti incontrati sul lungomare e al nostro ospite in studio, Gian Lorenzo Battaglia, un direttore della fotografia e cine operatore subacqueo, un curiosissimo mestiere che Gian Lorenzo ha fatto per tanti anni. E infatti di storie da raccontare ce ne aveva moltissime. Questo è un Fuoriporta curato da Marzia Coronati per Sveja, il progetto di comunicazione indipendente supportato da Periferiacapitale, il progetto per la città di Roma della Fondazione Charlemagne.
Gdyby zapytał was jakie miasta są najbardziej związane z historią chrześcijaństwa to pewnie wymienilibyście Jerozolimę, Betlejem czy może Rzym. Ale wczesna historia chrześcijaństwa jest związana szczególnie z Antiochią Syryjską. Kto pochodził z tego miasta? Co się tam wydarzyło? Zaczniemy jednak od powstania tego miasta.Z tym miastem jest związana historia imperium Aleksandra Wielkiego. Po jego śmierci władzę próbował przejść Antygon jeden z jego generałów. Zbudował on miasto Antygonia. Zjednoczyli się jednak jego przeciwnicy, inni generałowie Aleksandra i pokonali Antygona. Jego miasto Antygonia zostało zniszczone. Tych czterech zwycięzców podzieliło się imperium. Kassander dostał Grecję, Lizymach Azję Mniejszą, Ptolemeusz Egipt, a Seleukos Syrię. Do tego podziału nawiązuje chyba księga Daniela.W Daniela 8:22 czytamy: “A to, że został złamany, a cztery inne wyrosły zamiast niego, znaczy: Z jego narodu powstaną cztery królestwa, ale nie z taką mocą, jaką on miał”. Ten rozpad greckiego państwa na cztery części jest też opisany w Daniela 11:4. Z punktu widzenia historii biblijnej interesują nas tylko dwa z tych czterech królestw: Seleucydzi w Syrii oraz Ptolemeusze w Egipcie. Z historią Antiochii jest związany głównie Seleukos I Nikator. To właśnie ten pierwszy władca, założyciel dynastii Seleucydów w Syrii zbudował miasto Antiochia.W 301 roku p.n.e. został pokonany Antygon, a jego miasto Antygonia została zniszczona. Rok później niedaleko tych ruin Seleukos I Nikator zbudował Antiochię. Tak naprawdę zbudował on cztery Antiochie. Nazwał on je na cześć swojego ojca Antiochia. Dwie z nich pojawiają się w Biblii. Antiochia Syryjska, o której dziś będziemy mówić znajdowała się jakieś 30 km na wschód od Morza Śródziemnego i jakieś 400 km na północ od Damaszku. Seleukos osiedlił tam Macedończyków oraz Żydów.Antiochia stała się stolicą królestwa Seleucydów. Mieszkający tam Grecy i Żydzi mieli takie same prawa. Miasto to leżało na skrzyżowaniu szlaków z północy na południe oraz ze wschodu do Morza Śródziemnego. Ten król zbudował także port dla tego miasta. Port nazwał od swojego imienia Seleucją. Dzisiaj Antiochia leży w Turcji i nazywa się Antakya. Port Seleucja nazywa się obecnie Samandağı. Miasto i port łączy żeglowna rzeka Orontes. Była to częsta praktyka budowania miast z dala od morza, ale za to mających własne porty. Przykładem jest Rzym i Ostia. Zapobiegało to przed atakami piratów.Żydzi uprawiali tam działalność misyjną i prozelityzm. Skąd o tym wiemy? W Dziejach Apostolskich opisano wybór 7 diakonów, którzy mieli się zająć kwestią osób mówiących po grecku, które potrzebowały pomocy. W Dziejach 6:5 czytamy: “I podobał się ten wniosek całemu zgromadzeniu, i wybrali Szczepana, męża pełnego wiary i Ducha Świętego, i Filipa, i Prochora, i Nikanora, i Tymona, i Parmena, i Mikołaja, prozelitę z Antiochii”. Zauważmy ostatni z tych siedmiu to Mikołaj, prozelita z Antiochii. Był to prawdopodobnie Grek, który przeszedł na judaizm. Świetnie więc się nadawał aby zadbać o pomoc dla ludzi mówiących po grecku. Czy tylko Żydzi głosili swoją religię?W Dziejach 11:19 czytamy: “Tymczasem ci, którzy zostali rozproszeni na skutek prześladowania, jakie wybuchło z powodu Szczepana, dotarli aż do Fenicji, na Cypr i do Antiochii, nikomu nie głosząc słowa, tylko samym Żydom”. Początkowo działalność misyjna chrześcijan była zawężona do samych Żydów. Przybyli oni jednak do Antiochii, gdzie Żydzi starali się pozyskać prozelitów wśród Greków. Oznacza to, że tamtejsi Grecy mieli niejakie pojęcie o Starym Testamencie. Prawdopodobnie dyskutowali już o tym z Żydami. To na pewno ułatwiło zadanie przybyłym tam chrześcijanom. Być może niektórzy po prostu wrócili do domu jak wspomniany Mikołaj, który sam prawdopodobnie był Grekiem.Dzieje apostolskie 11:20 mówią: “Niektórzy zaś z nich byli Cypryjczykami i Cyrenejczykami; ci, gdy przyszli do Antiochii, zwracali się również do Greków, głosząc dobrą nowinę o Panu Jezusie”. Tak więc znaleźli się chrześcijanie, którzy głosili dobrą nowinę także Grekom. Apostołowie wyłali więc do Antiochii Barnabę, a on stwierdził, że przyda mu się Paweł. W Dziejach 11:26 czytamy: “A gdy go znalazł, przyprowadził go do Antiochii. I tak się ich sprawy ułożyły, że przez cały rok przebywali razem w zborze i nauczali wielu ludzi; w Antiochii też nazwano po raz pierwszy uczniów chrześcijanami”.W tym okresie apostołowie przebywali w Jerozolimie i stamtąd wysłali Barnabę. Jednak tam prześladowano chrześcijan i prawdopodobnie byli oni w ukryciu. Za to w Antiochii otwarcie głosili dobrą nowinę i chrzcili nowych uczniów. Mieszkańcy ich obserwowali i wymyślili dla nich nazwę. Mieszkańcy Antiochii nazwali uczniów Jezusa chrześcijanami bo wciąż chrzcili.Dzieje Apostolskie skupiają się na tym co się działo w Antiochii. Z tego powodu wielu uważa, że pisarz tej księgi czyli ewangelista Łukasz był właśnie Syryjczykiem pochodzący z Antiochii. Narodowością Łukasza zajmowałem się w odcinku 60. Począwszy od 11 rozdziału Dziejów czytamy głównie historię Apostoła Pawła, który wszystkie swoje podróże rozpoczynał właśnie w Antiochii. Ten 11 rozdział mówi nam o tym jak wyruszył do Jerozolimy z pomocą dla głodujących. W Dziejach 12:25 czytamy: “Barnaba zaś i Saul, spełniwszy posłannictwo, powrócili z Jerozolimy, zabrawszy z sobą Jana, zwanego Markiem”.Zauważmy, że napisano tam “powrócili”, ale nie powiedziano dokąd. Kolejny rozdział mówi jednak, że Barnaba, Saul czyli Paweł oraz Jan Marek wyruszyli z Antiochii w pierwszą podróż misjonarską. W Dziejach 13:4 czytamy: “A oni, wysłani przez Ducha Świętego, udali się do Seleucji, stamtąd zaś odpłynęli na Cypr”. Prawdopodobnie Paweł poszedł z Antiochii pieszo do portu w Seleucji. Mógł tam też popłynąć rzeką Orontes. Rozdział 13 i 14 opisują tą podróż.W Dziejach 14:26 czytamy jak powrócili: “Stamtąd zaś odpłynęli do Antiochii, gdzie zostali poruczeni łasce Bożej ku temu dziełu, które wykonali”. Paweł i jego towarzysze wsiedli na statek w Atalii i popłynęli do Antiochii, a w zasadzie do jej portu czyli Seleucji. Liczba chrześcijan wzrastała i właśnie to doprowadziło do sporu.Pierwszy znanym chrześcijaninem z Antiochii Syryjskiej był prozelita Mikołaj. Oznacza to, że był to poganin, który przeszedł na judaizm, a więc został obrzezany. W Dziejach Apostolskich 15:1 czytamy: “A pewni ludzie, którzy przybyli z Judei, nauczali braci: Jeśli nie zostaliście obrzezani według zwyczaju Mojżeszowego, nie możecie być zbawieni”. W Jerozolimie i innych miastach, np. Antiochii Pizydyjskiej chrześcijanie byli prześladowani, ale tutaj, w Antiochii Syryjskiej, istniała tolerancja i właśnie tam doszło do tego sporu.Paweł i inni poszli do Jerozolimy gdzie podjęto decyzję, że chrześcijanie pochodzenia pogańskiego nie muszą być obrzezani. Z tą decyzją wrócili oni do Antiochii, gdzie wybuch ten spór. Stamtąd Paweł wyruszył w drugą, a potem także w trzecia podróż misjonarską. Po tej ostatniej prawdopodobnie nigdy już nie wrócił do Antiochii. Zanim jednak do tego doszło przybył tam także apostoł Piotr.W Liście do Galatów 2:11 czytamy: “A gdy przyszedł Kefas do Antiochii, przeciwstawiłem mu się otwarcie, bo też okazał się winnym”. Do Antiochii Syryjskiej przybył Kefas czyli Piotr. Początkowo spotykał się z chrześcijanami pochodzenia pogańskiego, którzy nie byli obrzezani. Później jednak gdy przybyli tam zwolennicy obrzezania zaczął unikać nieobrzezanych braci. Paweł upomniał go wobec całego zboru.Antiochia stała się później bardzo ważnym ośrodkiem chrześcijaństwa. Była ona jednym z pięciu najważniejszych miast. Należały do nich Jerozolima, Aleksandria, Rzym, Bizancjum (Konstantynopol) oraz właśnie Antiochia. Mieszkający tam ludzie mówili także po syryjsku. Z tego powodu powstały tam pierwsze tłumaczenia Biblii na język syryjski już na początku drugiego wieku. Te syryjskie przekłady były wcześniejsze niż łacińskie.W późniejszym okresie powstało kilka interpretacji Pisma Świętego. Najważniejsze były szkoły aleksandryjska oraz antiocheńska. Ta ostatnia była przeciwna doszukiwania się zapowiedzi Chrystusa w każdym fragmencie Starego Testamentu. Szkoła antiocheńska twierdziła, że Stary Testament należy odczytywać jako wydarzenia historyczne. Odcinała się ona od chrystocentrycznej interpretacji Starego Testamentu.Z tego miasta miał pochodzić Ignacy Antiocheński. W czasach Trajana został skazany na śmierć. Wyrok wykonano w Rzymie, ale jego ciało przewieziono z powrotem do Antiochii. Innym znanym chrześcijaninem pochodzącym z Antiochii był Jan Złotousty. Został on patriarchą Konstantynopola. Potem również Flawian z Antiochii także osiągnął to stanowisko. Jednak później miasto było wielokrotnie zdobywanie. W 1268 Antiochię zdobyli muzułmanie i wymordowali chrześcijan oraz zburzyli wszystkie budynki. Skończyła się wtedy historia chrześcijańskiej Antiochii. W 1516 miasto znalazło się w państwie tureckim i tak jest do dzisiaj.I podobał się ten wniosek całemu zgromadzeniu, i wybrali Szczepana, męża pełnego wiary i Ducha Świętego, i Filipa, i Prochora, i Nikanora, i Tymona, i Parmena, i Mikołaja, prozelitę z Antiochiihttp://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Dzieje-Apostolskie/6/5Tymczasem ci, którzy zostali rozproszeni na skutek prześladowania, jakie wybuchło z powodu Szczepana, dotarli aż do Fenicji, na Cypr i do Antiochii, nikomu nie głosząc słowa, tylko samym Żydom.http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Dzieje-Apostolskie/11/19Niektórzy zaś z nich byli Cypryjczykami i Cyrenejczykami; ci, gdy przyszli do Antiochii, zwracali się również do Greków, głosząc dobrą nowinę o Panu Jezusie.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Dzieje-Apostolskie/11/20

Dante Ferretti"Bellezza imperfetta"Io e PasoliniA cura di David MiliozziEdizioni Pendragonwww.pendragon.itDante Ferretti, tre premi Oscar, tra i più celebri scenografi al mondo, racconta il suo lungo sodalizio professionale e umano con Pier Paolo Pasolini, cominciato da giovanissimo sul set de Il Vangelo secondo Matteo e terminato il 2 novembre 1975, quando il cadavere martoriato del grande poeta e pensatore fu ritrovato all'idroscalo di Ostia. Ripercorrendo il lungo tratto di carriera che ha condiviso con Pasolini, l'autore ci mostra anche gli straordinari bozzetti delle scenografie che hanno dato forma all'immaginario filmico pasoliniano, confrontandoli con i fotogrammi degli stessi film.Consegnandoci un ritratto scanzonato e crepuscolare di un uomo che possedeva il raro dono di capire il suo tempo, insieme al sapore di un'epoca irripetibile del cinema italiano e internazionale (sfilano davanti ai nostri occhi Federico Fellini, Elio Petri, Maria Callas, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton e tanti altri), queste pagine ci rivelano il volto inedito di un artista immenso, capace, sul set e nella vita, di investire le persone che gli erano accanto di un'energia umana e intellettuale tanto potente da cambiarle per sempre.Dante Ferretti (Macerata, 1943) ha avuto una carriera strepitosa che iniziò, ventenne, proprio con Pier Paolo Pasolini, di cui fu aiuto scenografo per Il Vangelo secondo Matteo (1964), Uccellacci e uccellini (1966) e Edipo re (1967); con lui firmò la sua prima scenografia, Medea (1970), e da quel momento Pasolini lo volle al suo fianco fino al suo ultimo film, Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975). Ferretti ha lavorato con i più importanti registi italiani – Luigi Comencini, Marco Bellocchio, Elio Petri, Liliana Cavani, Marco Ferreri, Ettore Scola, Franco Zeffirelli –, e in particolare con Federico Fellini, per cui è stato aiuto scenografo nel Fellini Satyricon del 1969 e scenografo in cinque film, fino all'ultima opera cinematografica del maestro riminese, La voce della Luna (1990). I geniali, visionari mondi da lui creati per Il nome della rosa (1986) e Le avventure del barone di Munchausen (1988), per cui ricevette la prima nomination all'Oscar, lo hanno reso celebre a Hollywood e nel mondo, dando avvio a un impressionante elenco di collaborazioni internazionali – tra gli altri, Terry Gilliam, Neil Jordan, Anthony Minghella, Brian De Palma, Martin Brest, Julie Taymor, Tim Burton, Kenneth Branagh – e alla speciale affinità creativa con Martin Scorsese, per cui ha firmato le scenografie di ben nove film da L'età dell'innocenza (1993) a Silence (2016). Per Pendragon è autore di Bellezza imperfetta. Io e Pasolini (2024).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Op 21 februari gedenkt de kerk de H. Petrus Damiani. In deze uitzending kan u kennis maken met het leven van deze indrukwekkende kluizenaar en later bisschop van Ostia. Hij heeft een belangrijke rol gespeeld in de hervorming van de Kerk in de moeilijke 11e eeuw. De 11e-eeuwse Kerk had met verschillende problemen te kampen: het verkopen van kerkelijke ambten, het gebrek aan morele integriteit bij vele van haar geestelijken.... De heilige Petrus Damiani zou de wegbereider worden van de belangrijk gregoriaanse hervormingen onder zijn vriend Hildebrand, de latere Gregorius VII.
Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 339The Saint of the day is Saint Peter DamianSaint Peter Damian's Story Maybe because he was orphaned and had been treated shabbily by one of his brothers, Peter Damian was very good to the poor. It was the ordinary thing for him to have a poor person or two with him at table and he liked to minister personally to their needs. Peter escaped poverty and the neglect of his own brother when his other brother, who was archpriest of Ravenna, took him under his wing. His brother sent him to good schools and Peter became a professor. Already in those days, Peter was very strict with himself. He wore a hair shirt under his clothes, fasted rigorously and spent many hours in prayer. Soon, he decided to leave his teaching and give himself completely to prayer with the Benedictines of the reform of Saint Romuald at Fonte Avellana. They lived two monks to a hermitage. Peter was so eager to pray and slept so little that he soon suffered from severe insomnia. He found he had to use some prudence in taking care of himself. When he was not praying, he studied the Bible. The abbot commanded that when he died Peter should succeed him. Abbot Peter founded five other hermitages. He encouraged his brothers in a life of prayer and solitude and wanted nothing more for himself. The Holy See periodically called on him, however, to be a peacemaker or troubleshooter, between two abbeys in dispute or a cleric or government official in some disagreement with Rome. Finally, Pope Stephen IX made Peter the cardinal-bishop of Ostia. He worked hard to wipe out simony—the buying of church offices–and encouraged his priests to observe celibacy and urged even the diocesan clergy to live together and maintain scheduled prayer and religious observance. He wished to restore primitive discipline among religious and priests, warning against needless travel, violations of poverty, and too comfortable living. He even wrote to the bishop of Besancon complaining that the canons there sat down when they were singing the psalms in the Divine Office. He wrote many letters. Some 170 are extant. We also have 53 of his sermons and seven lives, or biographies, that he wrote. He preferred examples and stories rather than theory in his writings. The liturgical offices he wrote are evidence of his talent as a stylist in Latin. He asked often to be allowed to retire as cardinal-bishop of Ostia, and finally Pope Alexander II consented. Peter was happy to become once again just a monk, but he was still called to serve as a papal legate. When returning from such an assignment in Ravenna, he was overcome by a fever. With the monks gathered around him saying the Divine Office, he died on February 22, 1072. In 1828, he was declared a Doctor of the Church. Reflection Peter was a reformer and if he were alive today would no doubt encourage the renewal started by Vatican II. He would also applaud the greater emphasis on prayer that is shown by the growing number of priests, religious, and laypersons who gather regularly for prayer, as well as the special houses of prayer recently established by many religious communities.

Paulina Spiechowicz"Mentre tutto brucia"Nutrimenti Edizioniwww.nutrimenti.netL'estate di Kamil e Beatrice, fratello e sorella, adolescenti costretti a crescere troppo in fretta, sarà difficile. Tornati dalla Polonia a Roma, dove sono nati e cresciuti, devono fare i conti con l'età adulta, che si avvicina rapida e non sembra voler fare sconti di pena. Paulina Spiechowicz ha scritto un romanzo di grande forza narrativa, una storia ruvida, che non lascia indifferenti. Un esordio che ricorda i ragazzi di Pier Paolo Pasolini e Nicolas Mathieu e che, con onestà, si fa carico della rabbia di un'intera generazione.Ostia, estate del 1994.Kamil e Beatrice, sedici e diciassette anni, tornano in Italia dalla madre dopo un anno in Polonia, dal padre. Kamil ha sentito la mancanza di Roma, la mancanza degli amici e della madre, Viola. Donna volubile, inquieta: l'anno prima ha tentato il suicidio, ma pare pronta a riprendere in mano la propria vita. A Beatrice invece dell'Italia non mancava nulla, lei che a Roma non è mai stata capace di farsi delle amiche, innamorarsi. Ma l'adolescenza è un'età che riserva molte sorprese – amori, amicizie, rabbie – e tutto sta per cambiare. Kamil si rifugia nel branco, costretto a celare le sue fragilità, mostrare solo i muscoli. Beatrice si infatua per la prima volta, e di chi mai aveva trovato attraente: Nico. Odiato da Kamil, Nico è un ex detenuto per spaccio che sente che il destino che gli è stato cucito addosso, tutto dedito a droga e violenza, gli sta stretto. Ora vuole essere migliore per Beatrice, cambiare vita.Giungere in Italia da esiliati politici, passare l'infanzia in campo profughi, essere lo straniero. Spiechowicz ne ha fatto esperienza, ma in Mentre tutto brucia sono punti di partenza. Con stile misurato, allarga il campo d'indagine alla ricerca di sé stessi e al desiderio, che in adolescenza esplodono, ai rapporti famigliari e ai primi amori. L'estate di questo romanzo è il percorso necessario a consolidarsi come adulti. “Quelle età, quei luoghi, quelle occasioni della vita in cui provi un odio così profondo per te stesso che l'unica possibilità è rinascere”.Valeria ParrellaPaulina Spiechowicz è nata a Cracovia nel 1983. Trasferitasi in Italia da bambina, ha studiato editoria e giornalismo a Roma, dove vive. Su Nazione Indiana, Satisfiction, Patria letteratura sono apparsi dei suoi racconti. Ha scritto per il teatro, suoi testi sono andati in scena a Parigi, e ha scritto poesia – Studi sulla notte, Ensemble 2012.

Gabriele Rosso"Storia del pane"Un viaggio dall'Odissea alle guerre del XXI secoloil Saggiatorewww.ilsaggiatore.comBianco, nero, lievitato, azzimo, di forno, industriale, fresco, a lunga conservazione: Gabriele Rosso ci guida in un viaggio all'interno della storia e delle evoluzioni del pane, alla scoperta di miti e innovazioni, cambiamenti politici e trasformazioni economiche legate all'alimento che più di ogni altro ha influenzato lo sviluppo della società. Sebbene sia pressoché impossibile stabilire con precisione quando o chi l'abbia inventato, sin dalle più antiche civiltà della Mesopotamia e dell'Egitto il pane ha rappresentato non solo un nutrimento fondamentale ma anche e soprattutto un simbolo che ha definito l'essere umano e ne ha plasmato l'immaginario. In questo libro Rosso racconta le interconnessioni sociali, culturali, filosofiche, pratiche tra il pane e l'umanità attraverso i secoli: da Omero che descrisse gli uomini come «mangiatori di grano o di pane» al Dio del Nuovo Testamento che si fa «pane vivo, disceso dal cielo»; dal pane quotidiano presente sulle tavole medievali agli assalti ai forni durante le carestie nei secoli successivi; dall'ideazione del Wonder Bread da supermercato, con la scomparsa della qualità in funzione di una produzione di massa, fino alla recente riscoperta della figura del fornaio e della panificazione artigianale di alto livello. Storia del pane ripercorre i tanti mutamenti tecnici e valoriali che hanno portato questo cibo a diventare una commodity capace di giocare un ruolo persino negli scenari geopolitici. Il racconto di uno specchio di grano, nel quale da migliaia di anni guardiamo il riflesso delle nostre azioni, delle nostre paure e delle nostre speranze.Gabriele Rosso (Cuneo, 1979) è membro del comitato di redazione della rivista L'Integrale. È vicecuratore della guida ai vini Slow Wine e ha scritto di cibo e politica per diverse testate online.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
About Kefalonia, Roman baths, and the search for the real Odysseus. The documentary Odysseus Returns premiered on PBS in August of 2024. The description of the film on the PBS website reads as follows: “An amateur historian, Makis Metaxas, claims he found the bones of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. But the discovery is soon embroiled in controversy, and Makis embarks on his own odyssey to convince the world he is right.” Ismini Miliaresis appears in this documentary, not only as an expert in the field of classical archaeology but also as someone who has a fascinating personal connection to this story. Ismini received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. After working as an engineer for several years, she returned to school and completed an M.A. and Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from the University of Virginia. She has published articles about the Stabian Baths of Pompeii and the Forum Baths of Ostia, and she has taught at such institutions as the American University of Rome, the University of Missouri, and the University of Virginia.

Una mattina di marzo 2015 Anna si sveglia, si guarda allo specchio, e si rende conto che è arrivato il momento di fare ciò che aveva già messo in conto 22 anni prima: lasciare il suo lavoro da dipendente in banca. Così prende la metro, e invece di andare in filiale, va alla sede centrale a consegnare le dimissioni. Oggi è una libera professionista che fa la Language virtual trainer, e questa è la storia di come per 22 anni si è preparata a compiere un passo che avrebbe potuto renderla più povera, ma non se fatto con la dovuta preparazione finanziaria. Anna vive ad Ostia e proviene da una famiglia che ha sempre visto il posto fisso come garanzia di emancipazione sociale. Questo mito familiare condiziona le scelte che fa riguardo i suoi studi: le piacerebbe frequentare il Classico, ma alla fine sceglie l'istituto Tecnico, sicura di trovar lavoro una volta diplomata. E così accade: a 19 anni ha già un posto in banca e guadagna 1600 euro, più di suo padre e suo fratello. Fin dal primo giorno Anna ha ben chiaro che quello non sarà il lavoro che farà per tutta la vita, e che i soldi che guadagna, altro non sono che il volano per raggiungere la vera libertà. Così approfitta per comprare casa, iscriversi all'Università e laurearsi in Lingue, sposarsi e poi divorziare. Intanto gestisce i suoi soldi come se fossero il portafoglio di un cliente, trasformando i suoi obiettivi di vita in obiettivi finanziari ed investendo in funzione di quelli: «C'era l'obiettivo di lungo termine che era andarsene, l'obiettivo di medio termine che era continuare a studiare, e poi quello di breve termine che era viaggiare». Sette mesi dopo aver finito di pagare il mutuo, arriva per Anna il momento che ha rimandato a lungo. Le competenze maturate nel settore finanziario la aiutano a gestire le spese nel momento in cui diventa libera professionista: «Io ho sempre fatto piani d'accumulo perché la mia idea è che non esista un momento migliore per entrare in un investimento. Si può entrare in qualsiasi momento con una piccola cifra. Quindi essere oculata nelle spese è stata la cosa che mi ha dato la possibilità di andare avanti e di dire: “voglio imparare ancora e voglio poter cambiare ancora”». Oggi Anna guadagna 22mila euro lordi, che è pochissimo rispetto alla cifra di un tempo. Ma dentro questa vita si sente finalmente a casa: «Io qualche volta il lunedì mattina mi svegliavo e piangevo. Ad oggi posso fare molte meno cose perché non ho lo stipendio e le sicurezze che avevo prima, ma se non altro, adesso il lunedì mi sveglio contenta. E quello paga, molto».

St. Augustine of Hippo (part 2) - From Pope Benedict's audience: After his Baptism, Augustine decided to return to Africa with his friends, with the idea of living a community life of the monastic kind at the service of God. However, while awaiting their departure in Ostia, his mother fell ill unexpectedly and died shortly afterwards, breaking her son's heart. Having returned to his homeland at last, the convert settled in Hippo for the very purpose of founding a monastery. In this city on the African coast he was ordained a priest in 391, despite his reticence, and with a few companions began the monastic life which had long been in his mind, dividing his time between prayer, study and preaching. All he wanted was to be at the service of the truth. He did not feel he had a vocation to pastoral life but realized later that God was calling him to be a pastor among others and thus to offer people the gift of the truth. He was ordained a Bishop in Hippo four years later, in 395. Augustine continued to deepen his study of Scripture and of the texts of the Christian tradition and was an exemplary Bishop in his tireless pastoral commitment: he preached several times a week to his faithful, supported the poor and orphans, supervised the formation of the clergy and the organization of mens' and womens' monasteries. In short, the former rhetorician asserted himself as one of the most important exponents of Christianity of that time. He was very active in the government of his Diocese - with remarkable, even civil, implications - in the more than 35 years of his Episcopate, and the Bishop of Hippo actually exercised a vast influence in his guidance of the Catholic Church in Roman Africa and, more generally, in the Christianity of his time, coping with religious tendencies and tenacious, disruptive heresies such as Manichaeism, Donatism and Pelagianism, which endangered the Christian faith in the one God, rich in mercy. And Augustine entrusted himself to God every day until the very end of his life: smitten by fever, while for almost three months his Hippo was being besieged by vandal invaders, the Bishop - his friend Possidius recounts in his Vita Augustini - asked that the penitential psalms be transcribed in large characters, "and that the sheets be attached to the wall, so that while he was bedridden during his illness he could see and read them and he shed constant hot tears" (31, 2). This is how Augustine spent the last days of his life. He died on 28 August 430, when he was not yet 76. We will devote our next encounters to his work, his message and his inner experience.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Monica (333-387), the mother of St. Augustine — whose feast is tomorrow. Through prayer and tears, St. Monica quietly gave the great Augustine to the Church. Born in Tagaste, northern Africa, Monica was given in marriage to a pagan named Patricius, a man of loose morals with a very irascible nature. It was in this school of suffering that Monica learned patience. Evil-minded servants prejudiced her mother-in-law against her, but Monica mastered the situation with kindness and sympathy. Monica persevered and prayed to convert her husband, who was baptized a year before his death. The Confessions of St. Augustine provide specific biographical details. When Augustine joined the Manichean sect and went astray in faith and morals, Monica's tears and prayers for her son were incessant. She followed him to Milan, where Augustine went to teach, and there continued to storm heaven with her prayers for her son. Finally, the moment came, and her tears of sorrow changed to tears of joy. She had the joy of witnessing St. Ambrose baptize Augustine in 387. Her lifework was completed. She died in Ostia, near Rome, in her fifty-sixth year. The description of her death is one of the most beautiful passages in her son's famous Confessions. Also, today is the feast of the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary or the Franciscan Crown. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Monica, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come!

This is the second part of our comprehensive two-part special, focusing on the band's journey from the tumultuous split with Max Cavalera to their triumphant evolution under Derrick Green, covering their albums from "Against" through "Quadra." Our episode begins with the dramatic events of 1996, when frontman Max Cavalera parted ways with the band following the release of "Roots." We delve into the reasons behind this monumental split, exploring the tensions and conflicts that led to Max's departure. Enter Derrick Green, the powerhouse vocalist who joined Sepultura in 1997. We discuss the audition process and how the band discovered Derrick, a Cleveland native with a voice that could carry the weight of Sepultura's legacy. ### "Against" (1998) Released in 1998, "Against" was the first album to feature Derrick Green on vocals. This album represented a rebirth for Sepultura, showcasing their determination to forge ahead despite the upheaval. ### "Nation" (2001) Next, we dive into "Nation," released in 2001. This album saw Sepultura expanding their musical horizons, incorporating diverse influences and exploring themes of unity and resistance. ### "Roorback" (2003) Released in 2003, "Roorback" marked a return to a more straightforward, aggressive sound. ### "Dante XXI" (2006) Inspired by Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy," "Dante XXI" was released in 2006 and represented a conceptual high point for Sepultura. We'll explore how the band translated the epic poem into a metal masterpiece, with tracks like "Convicted in Life" and "Ostia" showcasing their ability to blend narrative depth with musical ferocity. ### "A-Lex" (2009) Continuing their trend of concept albums, Sepultura released "A-Lex" in 2009, inspired by Anthony Burgess's novel "A Clockwork Orange." ### "Kairos" (2011) "Kairos," released in 2011, saw Sepultura reflecting on their own history and the concept of time. ### "The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart" (2013) In 2013, Sepultura released "The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart," an album that revisited darker, more aggressive themes. This album showcased Sepultura's ability to remain relevant and vital in the ever-changing metal landscape. ### "Machine Messiah" (2017) Released in 2017, "Machine Messiah" was a critical and artistic triumph for Sepultura. We'll explore how the band incorporated orchestral elements and progressive influences into their tracks l ### "Quadra" (2020) Our episode culminates with "Quadra," released in 2020. This album was a tour de force, blending elements of thrash, groove, and progressive metal. We'll discuss how tracks like "Isolation" and "Means to an End" encapsulate the band's mastery of their craft and their ability to continually evolve.

Today we continue our Sayings of the Savior series with a look at Luke, covering everything Jesus said in that Gospel that we haven't yet discussed–so leaving off things like the miracles we did in 0.20 and the parables and other sayings we did in earlier Sayings of the Savior installments- so we'll be leaving you in suspense right before the concluding few chapters discussing Jesus' death and His (spoiler alert) resurrection, which we'll cover as we finish the remaining mysteries of the rosary in future Catholic worldbuilding episodes. We already covered the first three chapters of Luke gradually from Episode 0.14 to Episode 0.19, and we'll cover the last three chapters as we talk through the Passion and the Resurrection (oops, spoilers). Which leaves Luke chapters 4 through 21 as our focus for today. Luke 4 starts with the Temptation in the Desert. As you know by now, it's not unusual to find parallel scenes in the Gospels, especially in the so-called synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and fitting with that pattern, we saw a version of this scene in Matthew, and it actually made an appearance in Mark as well, though the Mark version was so abbreviated it didn't actually assign any dialog to Jesus or Satan so I didn't zoom in on it–after all, this is Sayings of the Savior. Anyways, let's see Luke's temptation scene and note what differences we see from Matthew's version. In the first temptation, Matthew has Satan referring to multiple stones Jesus could turn into bread after his 40 day fast, while Luke has just one stone. I'm sure there's commentary that discusses this difference--it's the Bible, there's commentary for everything– but unlike the Mark episode, I'm not going to go into quite that level of detail with Luke. It's worth noting that when Christ responds with LUKE "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone.'” GREGG he leaves off the second half of the quote from Deuteronomy 8:3 “but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” which Matthew had included. Then, the second and third temptation we saw in Matthew are reversed. In Luke, Satan first tells Jesus he can give him all sorts of power if He worships him, which, I mean, I guess things would have been pretty different if Jesus had taken him up on that. Like, serious plot twist. But nah. He says LUKE “It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only” GREGG and then the third temptation in Luke's ordering is the testing of God's protection of Jesus. Rather than seeing if God will save Him, Jesus says: LUKE: It is said: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'” GREGG After seeing the devil off, Jesus begins his traveling and preaching ministry and soon enough winds up in his hometown. This is a scene that showed up in Matthew and Mark as well, the one where Jesus notes that no prophet is welcome in his hometown. In Luke it's more thorough and frankly dramatic. Long quote ahead, let's get into it: LUKE 4 16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” 20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 22All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked. 23Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself!' And you will tell me, 'Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'" 24"Truly I tell you," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown. 25I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed--only Naaman the Syrian.” 28All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way. GREGG So, just to recap, we have Jesus preaching a bit of a softball passage from Isaiah, promising good news to the poor. That was a long quote, so let's hear just that passage as a refresher: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor” The good news part is clear enough In terms of freedom and healing, but what is the year of the Lord's favor mentioned? By all accounts it's the Jubilee year described in Leviticus 25. You know how the seventh day is the Sabbath, a day of rest for the people? Well the seventh year was a “day”of rest for the fields, where they were to lie fallow, that is, go untilled and unworked, letting nature take its course for a year. Crops could not be harvested in an organized way, though what grows could be casually consumed by the owners, or by the needy, or really by anyone, or by animals. Going further, personal debts among the people of Israel were cancelled in a levelling move. This custom is still in force in much of Israel, where it is called the Shmita. Of course, following the quasi-precept of “two Jews, three opinions”, application slash abrogation of this practice varies. Anyways, the Jubilee year was not the seventh year, the Smhita I mentioned, but rather the fiftieth year, being the year after the seventh set of seven years, because symbolism. In the Jubilee year, things were even more intense, for instance going beyond personal debt forgiveness to returning sold land to the tribe of origin and to freeing Israelites who had sold themselves into slavery, basically a factory reset for society. But note, this was only enslaved Israelites who were to be freed in the Jubilee year, the “year of the Lord's favor”. And this is where we turn back to Luke 4, because Jesus pivots the conversation away from the people of Israel to the fringes and even beyond the borders of Jewish society, to Sidon and Syria. But sending the good news to the gentiles is quite a bridge too far for his audience, who prepare to kill him in their rage. Like I said, quite the scene, and it's easy to understand why skeptics might place it as having been written after Christianity had already begun to spread among the gentiles and catch flack for doing so on the home front. My main narrative episodes haven't gotten far, but we've already started to see some of that tension, and it will only grow. Of course, I've committed to getting my Catholic Worldbuilding stuff done before I dive back into the main narrative stuff, and to do that we need to get through the rest of Luke, and to do *that* we at least need to get through the rest of Luke 4. After escaping the assembled mob, apparently by miraculous means of some kind because it simply says He walked right through the crowd, Jesus proceeds to do other miracles in towns around the region. The people who lived near Peter's mother-in-law must have really appreciated the assist, because in stark contrast to his hometown reception they tried to keep him from leaving. He responded: LUKE 4 “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” GREGG Luke 5 opens with Jesus calling his disciples to follow Him. We covered the miraculous catch of fish that got Peter on board when we did our roundup of miracles, and other assorted miracles carry us through to Verse 27, when we have the Call of Matthew, known to Luke as Levi. Matthew vs. Levi Is worth a minute. Matthew is the more common name for this disciple, and may have been his Christian name. But Levi is the name preferred here in Luke and also in Mark. One explanation I saw in multiple places is that Matthew is a Greek name while Levi is Hebrew, an explanation that suffers from being wrong, as Matthew is Hebrew for “gift of God”. A perhaps more successful explanation is that Matthew was a Levite, you know, someone from the Tribe of Levi, and things got a bit garbled. Or there was a name change that just didn't get recorded in Scripture or in any other tradition for that matter.. Matthew and Levi being separate individuals seems to be the least popular theory, so regardless of the particulars, your takeaway from this should be the same as it was when we talked about this last episode: they're the same person. Either way, here's the call of Matthew *cough* Levi: LUKE 5 27Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. "Follow me," Jesus said to him, 28and Levi got up, left everything and followed him. GREGG OK, maybe I didn't need to go into all that detail for two words of Jesus, but hey, what's done is done, so “follow me” across a few more verses, where Jesus gets questioned about the company He's chosen to keep: LUKE 5 Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 31Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” GREGG That's good news for us sinners, I can tell you that much. Luke 5 finishes with some parables, which we covered in the Parables roundup earlier in this series, so on to Luke 6, which opens with the grain-picking scene we've seen a couple of times already. SYNOPTIC ROUNDUP, you know the drill [airhorn], except I'm skipping rehashing the other two accounts, just, you know, general reminder that synoptic parallels are a thing. Anyways, let's get another dose of that “Lord of the Sabbath” action: LUKE 6 1One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. 2Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” 3Jesus answered them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” 5Then Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” GREGG Oh yeah, good stuff. Check my Matthew and Mark episodes if you want more commentary on it, I want to buckle down and get to John. Of course by that I mean John the Baptist, whose inquiry gives us of the next section we need to cover. Of course, as is so often the case with these synoptic Gospels, this isn't actually a whole new section. This next chunk closely matches a parallel passage in Matthew 11. If you want to follow along, in Matthew it's the start of that Chapter, while in Luke we're at chapter 7 verse 18: LUKE 7 18John's disciples told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19he sent them to the Lord to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else? 20When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?'” 21At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. GREGG Oh look there's a batch of miracles that didn't make it into my miracles roundup, at least not directly. It's pretty vague, and it's unique to Luke. This small difference is exactly the sort of thing that gets analyzed to try to understand the relationship between Matthew and Luke, and like every other bit of Scriptural analysis you can find someone taking pretty much any conceivable stance. In any case, the reference to those timely miracles helps set the stage for the next verse, which is back to closely paralleling Matthew: LUKE 7 22So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 23Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.” 24After John's messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27This is the one about whom it is written: "'I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.' 28I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” GREGG Now, I went back and checked my commentary on Matthew's version of this scene, and it was basically nothing. Which is fair, I was pretty deadline-crunched at the time and knew I'd be revisiting it here. But it's definitely worth noting that both passages have John the Baptist, who Jesus proclaims as a great, or even the greatest, prophet, both passages have this spiritual giant publicly uncertain about whether Jesus is the Messiah. You could perhaps argue this was a ruse, but John seems to have been a straight shooter- that's why he's sending delegates from prison after all rather than asking himself. So it seems to be a genuine question. Which means if you're under the impression that having faith or even being the greatest prophet ever automatically means you have no remaining questions and can see all of God's plan perfectly, apparently not. After all, John had been the one ministering at Jesus' baptism, where Heaven had opened and the Spirit had come down as a dove and God's own voice had told Jesus: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” And yet now John is asking, publicly: “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?" There's a lesson in there on vulnerability and openness to God's plan. Or perhaps a lesson in how everyone can encounter uncertainty, no matter how certain their role seems. We'll see Jesus go even further in questioning during the Passion narrative when the time comes. Skipping a few verses of parenthetical commentary that can only be found in Luke, let's pick back up at Luke 7 verse 31: LUKE 7 31Jesus went on to say, "To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other: "'We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not cry.' 33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.' 34The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' 35But wisdom is proved right by all her children.” GREGG If you aren't willing to listen, you'll find any excuse to dismiss the message. But the wise will be shown by making the right choice. After wrapping that up, Jesus goes on a bit of a parable tour until he winds up with a bit more family awkwardness In Luke 8:19: LUKE 8 19 Now Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting CORRECT to see you.” 21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice.” GREGG Ouch, but also yay, Jesus doesn't put His earthly family above others. Which is good news If you didn't start out as His family, though it might sting a little if you did. The rest of Luke 8 is a bunch of previously-discussed miracles, so we're on to Luke 9: LUKE 9 9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere. GREGG This Isn't the first or even the second time we've seen these basic marching orders, but it actually is the last as John is, well, a very different Gospel, as we'll see in our next worldbuilding episode. Anyways, after feeding the 5,000 we get to verse 18, where Luke's version of Peter's confession begins. As with Mark, don't get too excited: LUKE 9 18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?” 19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.” 20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “God's Messiah.” 21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.” GREGG So that's three for three on synoptic Gospels having Peter describe Jesus as the Messiah. Only Matthew did the keys thing, though. Also note the messianic secret trope popping up again- Jesus will apparently reverse his gag order after the Passion, because the Book of Acts- which was also written by Luke, or at least by whoever wrote Luke, will be all about telling everyone Jesus is the Messiah. Immediately after that exchange, Jesus starts talking about his future, and it's not rosy: LUKE 9 22 And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.” 23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.” GREGG This is all closely paralleling Matthew, and Mark as well, though as usual Mark was a bit shorter, skipping the last verse about some standing there not tasting death before they see the Kingdom. Again, you can see why early Christians were basically a doomsday cult expecting the end sooner rather than later. Certainly *your* end will come, so, you know, keep that in mind. We're going to skip the transfiguration since that's its own mystery of the rosary with its own episode, and there's another miracle account after that. So skipping along, come with me to Luke 9:43: LUKE 9 While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.” 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. GREGG If my episode on Mark is still fresh in your mind, you may already predict where this is going, as this particular section is a close Mark and Luke parallel. Matthew split things up in different ways but for both Mark and Luke the conversation with a child and being the greatest in the kingdom follows immediately after Jesus states what will become of him, leaving the disciples too afraid to ask. Let's carry on with the next verse: LUKE 9 46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.” GREGG The next verse is a bit of a random aside, but an important one as I mentioned before when it came up in Mark: LUKE 9 49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.” 50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.” GREGG Skipping ahead to verse 57, we have some stray sayings that underline the urgency of following Christ: LUKE 9 57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” 62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” GREGG A bit harsh, but Jesus is like that sometimes. Luke 10 opens with an long section on Jesus' next project, sending out seventy-two disciples, or seventy according to some manuscripts. Some may recall a previous seventy vs seventy-two discussion when we talked about the Septuagint, and I expect there's a reason for that parallel, but either way that's not the particular rabbit hole I want to go down here today. Instead, I want to note that we can have some fun with this Luke-only passage, and that we wouldn't be the first to do so. You see, seventy is a long but not completely impractical number of folks to list off, and while Luke doesn't give names, there are plenty of extrabiblical sources assigning names and biographical details to some or all of the seventy. This passage discussing Jesus sending out seventy disciples was especially useful for ancient or wannabe ancient dioceses that couldn't trace back to a specific Apostle. Instead, lo and behold, turns out their founder was one of the unnamed seventy. Boom presto, a biblical founder! Of course that's the skeptical read, it could well be that some such stories are true. But there are enough names assigned to the 70 that they certainly aren't *all* true, kind of like how there are at least four heads of John the Baptist floating around. In the end, as a reminder, Catholics are generally free to believe or disbelieve in the authenticity and or efficacy of any particular relic or tradition as long as they accept the fundamental teachings and authority of the Catholic Church. In terms of the promised fun we can have, I'd like to announce a little side project, a game where I share a story of someone spreading Christianity and the next episode we'll discuss whether it's real or made up and what the sources are. We'll start that at the end of this episode. For now, let's hear about the seventy slash seventy-two: LUKE 10 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. 5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.' 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. GREGG Someone tell the Jehovah's Witnesses… LUKE 10 8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.' 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. 13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. 16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.” 17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. GREGG That verse is the root of some of the quirky snake-handling churches in Appalachia by the way… LUKE 10 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. 22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” 23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” GREGG Those last two verses touch on an interesting discussion throughout Church history, namely the fate of those who lived before the time of Christ. Could they be saved? Observant Jews of the time, yes, certainly. But those who never encountered Christianity or Judaism because of when or where they lived historically has proven a bit of an awkward question for the Church. The “well you better go tell them” impulse has long served to recruit missionaries, but on the other end many did and do argue that it hardly seems fair to expect folks to follow what through no fault of their own they've never been exposed to. Granted it's less of an issue nowadays when very few folks worldwide haven't at least heard of Christ, but the question remains. Certainly the Catholic Church insists that all humans who are saved are saved through Christ, there's no other way. And yet the Church also affirms that God is not bound by time, as evidenced by the defined belief required of all Catholics in the Immaculate Conception, where the Blessed Virgin Mary was preserved from all stain of sin from the moment of her conception. Obviously that took place before the Incarnation, so it's not like the years going from BC to AD is a firm barrier for the saving action of Christ in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Indeed, by implication, the previously mentioned Jews who awaited the grand opening of heaven were able to do so by the work of Christ according to the Church, though given how many horrible things have been done to Jews in the name of Christ through the years that isn't something that tends to be emphasized. In the end, I think you probably know me well enough by now to correctly guess that I land on the hopeful end of this discussion. By one means or another, all through Christ, I hope for all. But to be very clear, that's my hope, and for what it's worth. Pope Francis' hope as well according to a recent interview, but it's not established Church teaching. Skipping past the parable of the Good Samaritan, let's go to verse 38 for Martha and Mary, an exchange that's my go-to analogy for the two basic types of service to the Church, with Martha being the “active” type and Mary the “contemplative”. LUKE 38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” GREGG The first part of Luke 11 covers Luke's take on the Our Father-covered in 0.21b- and the Friend at Midnight covered in our parables roundup. So skip along to Verse 9, which parallels Matthew's Sermon on the Mount, so it will sound familiar: LUKE 11 9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” GREGG Skip ahead again, this time to verse 24, because verses 14-23 were covered under miracles: LUKE 24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.' 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.” 27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” 28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” GREGG There's a reminder that relapsing can be worse than the initial lapse, and a nice compliment session preserved only in Luke. But then the tone shifts, and the rest of the chapter has parallels in Matthew: LUKE 11 29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom; and now something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and now something greater than Jonah is here GREGG Then there's a comparatively light lamp analogy, which I kind of covered during the Sermon on the Mount commentary, but not in its entirety, so I'm giving it all to you here: LUKE 11 33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.” GREGG And now as we get back to a more challenging tone, and as Jesus targets the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law specifically, I want to give the same general note that I gave for the parallel verses in Matthew: do not take these verses out of context to justify antisemitism, which has no place in the Catholic Church, or really in the world. For one thing, keep in mind Jesus is a Jew speaking to fellow Jews here. Anyways, let's continue: LUKE 37 When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table. 38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal. 39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you. 42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone. 43 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces. 44 “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it.” 45 One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.” 46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them. 47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. 49 Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.' 50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.” GREGG Let's take a moment to reflect on that last line: “this generation will be held responsible for it all”. It's surprisingly harsh, even for a surprisingly harsh Jesus, for Him to hold the generation he was talking to responsible for all the blood of all the prophets that has been shed from the beginning of the world. But there it is. I can see a case being made for these verses as part of a theological justification for original sin, though really the key verse for that is Romans 5:12, which we'll talk about later. Either way, given the emphasis on “this generation”, I don't think that's what's going on here, as original sin doesn't like, target specific generations. So, what's up? Why is Jesus focusing in on the present generation, at least the present generation as of His lifetime? Well, there's the key. It's His generation. Jesus is there, and all of the sin of history, past, present, and future, will be brought to account through Him. Jesus, as always, is the answer. It's not that the world was especially sinful in the first century AD. But the answer to all sin was walking the earth then. *That* is why it's a generation that deserves a particular singling out. Of course, that reflection- my own theological musing I should say, which is a dangerous thing to do and I defer to any correction that may come my way– anyways that reflection should not detract from the straightforward fact that Jesus is really taking the Pharisees and Teachers of the law to task here LUKE 11 52 “Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” 53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say. 1Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy 2There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs GREGG Fortunately no one in our day falls into religious hypocrisy anymore, right? …right? Anyways, the next few verses, once again paralleled with Matthew, put things into context, while weaving in hints of future persecution: LUKE 12 4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” GREGG After a break for a parable, the overall theme resumes in verse 22: LUKE 12 22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? 27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. 32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. GREGG Did you catch one of the most challenging things Jesus says? “Sell your possessions and give to the poor” This isn't the only place Jesus says that, but it hits a little harder when he's giving it as general counsel rather than as specific advice to a rich young man looking for specific advice on how to live well. If you have more than you need, your excess needs to go to those who lack. You will ultimately have to account not only for what you did, but what you didn't do. If you've seen Schindler's List, think of his regret after all he's done, that he didn't sell the car to do more. When your life is done, what regrets will You have? I know I need to do more, part of this project is to remind myself of that and to embarrass myself publicly for my shortcomings. Listen to Jesus' message, don't get hung up on the messenger. A few parables take us forward to verse 49, a source of top notch dad jokes about our matchless king. But Jesus goes beyond that, preaching division. His message is hard, it will not be universally popular. LUKE 12 49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It's going to rain,' and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It's going to be hot,' and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time? 57 “Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.” LUKE 13 13 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” GREGG That excerpt took us into Luke 13, which continues with parables and a miracle until verse 23, which is, frankly, basically the start of another parable, but not one I covered in the parables roundup so we'll do it here. LUKE 13 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.' “But he will answer, ‘I don't know you or where you come from.' 26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' 27 “But he will reply, ‘I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!' 28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.” GREGG I recently saw one of the first verses in that passage cited as pointing towards the idea of Hell being full. After all, “many I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.” Is fairly clear, and even accounting for Jesus' action as the owner of the house, in this and elsewhere ultimately those who are out on the cold are truly out in the cold. As much as I freely admit I don't get the logic of hell being populated, I also freely admit that the idea of it being empty is an exegetical stretch given passages like this. In the end, God reigns and I do not. I know what God asks of me, and I do it. As much as I like to know and to talk, I accept that I don't have and cannot have all knowledge. Anyways, Jesus continues with a lament over Jerusalem we saw in Matthew, which Luke supplies with a little more context: LUKE 13 31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” 32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.' 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! 34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'” GREGG And now with that note looking to Jesus' future- something he definitely keeps doing throughout the Gospels- we have something of an intermission, because Luke 14, 15, and 16 are all so full of parables that we've already covered along with all of Jesus' words from those chapters. Luke 17 opens with yet another parable, and then a miracle, so we're actually regrouping at Luke 17:20, where Jesus talks about the upcoming kingdom and talks about the end times, always fuel for a discussion, though I am skeptical about how productive such discussions are, given how Jesus opens the discussion by noting that the coming of the kingdom cannot be observed. And really, if there's something you'd be doing differently if you knew the world was ending--honestly that's probably something you should be doing *now*, because your life will end very soon in the grand scheme of things, and you can't rule out today. Anyways, let's resume: LUKE 17 20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,' or ‘There it is,' because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” 22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23 People will tell you, ‘There he is!' or ‘Here he is!' Do not go running off after them. 24 For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32 Remember Lot's wife! 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it. 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.” [36] [KJV] 36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.” GREGG Oh, hope you don't mind me throwing in a little bit more KJV there. I would have announced it in advance but I was kind of on a roll with that transition and didn't want to kill the vibe. I'm no scripture scholar but my guess is the reason the KJV keep having verses the NIV is skipping is because back in the day folks were more reluctant to identify a passage as an addition due to manuscript evidence, you know, just in case. Better safe than sorry. But again, I'm no expert. Now, if I ever do get a budget for this beyond basic hosting fees I do have an expert in mind, so periodic reminder I do have a Popeular Patreon kicking around somewhere. In any event, that's it for Luke 17, and we can basically skip the first half of Luke 18, since that's a couple parables and related stuff we've already addressed. In Luke 18 verse 18, we've got a familiar question, not only familiar because it already came up in both Matthew and Mark, but it's actually already come up in Luke as well, as part of the runup to the parable of the Good Samaritan. That parable was split off from the other synoptics, being present only in Luke despite being extremely famous. But this time around, the passage is a close parallel to both Matthew and Mark. Let's go! LUKE 18 18 A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'” 21 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said. 22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?” 27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” 28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!” 29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” GREGG We treated the “eye of the needle” thing almost embarrassingly thoroughly last episode, so refer back to my Mark commentary for detail on that. The ending simply promising a much greater reward for giving things up to follow Jesus is a mild tweak of the “first shall be last” thing we saw concluding this passage in Matthew and Mark, for what it's worth. Next up, Jesus gives the third prediction of his death he's given in Luke: LUKE 18 31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.” 34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about. GREGG Jesus predicts his death three times in each of the synoptic Gospels, so that being the third and final prediction is a sign we're getting close. Chapter 18 finishes with a miracle, so we're on to Chapter 19, which opens with the second account of Jesus calling a tax collector to follow him present in Luke. And unlike the call of Matthew slash Levi, this call of Zaccheus is *only* present in Luke. LUKE 19 19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” GREGG I mentioned a bit ago we were getting close to the end of things for today, and another sign that we're getting close is that the next thing we get to cover, after skipping another parable, is Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, which is liturgically covered in the Palm Sunday observances that kick off Holy Week, aka the week leading up to Easter Sunday. Let's hear what Luke has to say, starting at verse 28: LUKE 19 28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?' say, ‘The Lord needs it.'” 32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” 35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. 37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” 41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you.” 45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer'; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.'” 47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words. GREGG From the classic handwaive of “the master has need of it” to the admittedly brief account of Jesus driving the moneychangers out of the Temple, there's a lot of good stuff in there, but nothing especially new, all things we basically saw in Matthew and Mark. Similarly, the opening verses of Luke 20 are also close parallels of the other synoptic gospels. But hey, you know the drill, let's hear Luke tell it: LUKE 20 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. 2 “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?” 3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me: 4 John's baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin?” 5 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,' he will ask, ‘Why didn't you believe him?' 6 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,' all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.” 7 So they answered, “We don't know where it was from.” 8 Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.” GREGG The next few verses are taken up by the Parable of the Talents, so we'll skip that and go on to more close synoptic parallel passages starting in Verse 20. If you're wondering, we're parallelling Matthew 22 and Mark 12 here: LUKE 20 20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor. 21 So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” 23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar's,” they replied. 25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.” 26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent. GREGG Yes, as you'll recall, giving God what is God's means giving God everything, but at the same time, like, pay your taxes. The parallels continue with the next section LUKE 20 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?” 34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.” 39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!” 40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions. 41 Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David? 42 David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand 43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”' 44 David calls him ‘Lord.' How then can he be his son?” GREGG Yes, all closely paralleling Matthew 22 and Mark 12 still, both of which we've discussed. For what it's worth, John is going to be something quite different. In any event, the last bit of Luke 20 is absent from Matthew, only parallelled in Mark 12: LUKE 20 45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, 46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.” GREGG Luke 21 opens with another section we that we didn't see in Matthew but covered in Mark, namely the Widow's Offering: LUKE 21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” GREGG I do love the message there, namely that God sees and accounts for effort when it comes to our actions, including our giving. Like I said, the Widow's Offering was in Mark too so I went into some more detail last episode. As the chapter continues, the parallels with Matthew resume, now in Matthew Chapter 24, and Mark 14. Overall the theme is the end times, fairly appropriate given the transition to the Passion that will come in the next chapter LUKE 21 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” 7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” 8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,' and, ‘The time is near.' Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
This episode boils down to a discussion of hope and facing adversity. My guest is Shariann Tom, the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Cancer Journey Institute (CJI), the nation's first cancer coaching training organization. We discuss strategies to move through a cancer journey and the adversity one may face. In addition, we talk about ways to advocate for your health. Questions this episode will answer: -How did Shariann survive 5 bouts with cancer? -How can cancer patients avoid feeling fearful and hopeless? -How can you support someone with cancer or a significant illness? -What are strategies for advocating for yourself and loved ones with doctors? As we age, many of us, or someone we know, have dealt with cancer or a significant illness. Additionally, many are becoming caregivers for our parents. Whether you have faced cancer, experienced a serious illness, or are focused on preventing major health issues, this episode offers valuable insights for you. This is an inspiration conversation about surviving adversity, so I know there is something for you in it. I felt incredibly inspired while recording it, and I believe you will feel the same when you listen.

Hey everybody, Michelle here and I want to apologize. It's been a while since I've been podcasting. We've been so busy. We have so many new families that have joined the champions for our children masterclass, and my new membership next level autism. So if you guys ever want any information on that, you can always email me at michelle@michellebrogers.com. But today's episode is actually an excerpt from a workshop I just recently did. I think one of the most important things as parents of children with autism is that we try a lot of things. And a lot of things that we try might not work and we get very frustrated. And then sometimes we believe, because we've been socially conditioned, that the autism diagnosis may make it that our child can't learn. I don't believe that. But because we might have that kind of playing in the back of our heads, we may start and stop things like potty training or teaching our kids how to communicate or stop problem behavior. So I think one of the more powerful things that I can share with you is kind of hearing everything that you've tried and understanding why you think it hasn't worked and then actually tell you why it hasn't worked and give you a path forward. So this podcast episode is dedicated to doing just that you're going to hear me coaching spas parents, who are who were brave enough to come forward on this webinar to allow me to hear their stories. Hear what they've tried, it's gonna it's gonna you know, you know tug at your heartstrings but once I once you see me coaching them, or you hear me coaching them through this, I hope it brings clarity for you too. So sit back listen and enjoy and I hope to speak with you soon.
