1 00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:13,500 Hi everyone. Welcome back to the logical 2 00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:17,000 Bible study podcast. Thank you, again, for tuning in. 3 00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:20,900 I know there's lots of different podcasts and media Outlets out 4 00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:23,600 there at the moment, doing Catholic things. 5 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,000 But this podcast is a bit unique because we really dive into the 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,300 literal sense of the text of the Bible. 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,299 What is going on in each phrase? What was the author? 8 00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:34,900 Trying to communicate to Their audience? 9 00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:37,100 So that's what sets this podcast apart is. 10 00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:40,500 We're really looking at a proper exegesis of individual. 11 00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:44,100 All texts. And then we make connections to 12 00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:46,800 the Catholic faith by looking at what the catechism has to say 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,400 about those particular texts. So today, if you go to mass, you 14 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,600 would hear from Matthew 28:1 to 10. 15 00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:57,300 Although, technically today, there is no mass for Holy 16 00:00:57,300 --> 00:00:59,100 Saturday. There's no Mass during the day. 17 00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:02,800 There is one at night time. So there is a vigil mass, and 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,800 we're going to look at the gospel. 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,300 Text for that one. Matthew 28 1 to 10. 20 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,500 After the Sabbath and towards Dawn on the first day of the 21 00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:16,200 week, Mary of magdala and the other Mary went to visit the 22 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,800 Sepulchre and all at once, there was a violent earthquake for the 23 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,500 angel of the Lord descending from Heaven came, and rolled 24 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:30,700 away the stone and sat on it. His face was like lightning his 25 00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:34,500 robe white as snow. The guards were so shaken. 26 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,400 So, frightened of him that they were like dead men. 27 00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:43,100 But the angel spoke and he said to the women, there is no need 28 00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:46,500 for you to be afraid. I know you are looking for 29 00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,800 Jesus, who was crucified? He is not here for. 30 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,400 He has risen as he said he would. 31 00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:57,300 Come and see the place where he lay, then go quickly and tell 32 00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:01,300 his disciples. He has risen from the dead. 33 00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:05,100 And now he was going before you to Galilee it is there, you will 34 00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:09,699 see him? Now, I have told you Filled with 35 00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:12,700 or and great joy. The women came quickly away from 36 00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:18,400 the tomb and ran to tell the disciples And they're coming to 37 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,400 meet them was Jesus. Greetings, he said, and the 38 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,700 women came up to him and falling down before him clasped his 39 00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:31,600 feet. Then Jesus said to them do not 40 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,000 be afraid. Go and tell my brothers that 41 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,500 they must leave for Galilee. They will see me there. 42 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,500 So that's our passage for today for Holy Saturday. 43 00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:47,400 And because it's year a we read the resurrection account from 44 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,700 the gospel of Matthew. So what's the context? 45 00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:57,000 Jesus has died on Good Friday and he's been buried and guards 46 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,600 have been placed in front of the Tomb. 47 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,400 So that's the last thing that happened. 48 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,600 So a right up to the end of the Gospel here, verse 1, after the 49 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,400 Sabbath. So we know that this took place 50 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,700 after Saturday and in fact towards Dawn on the first day of 51 00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,300 the week and in that culture, the first day of the week is 52 00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:16,500 Sunday. So we're looking at dawn on 53 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,800 Sunday of Holy Week and if we have our dates, correct, that 54 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,100 would make it a or fifth 33 ad very early in the morning. 55 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:28,800 So some women come to the tomb. We have Mary of magdala, which 56 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,700 is one of Jesus closest, female companions. 57 00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:37,100 And then there's another woman here listed as the other Mary. 58 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,400 Now, it gets a bit confusing because Mary was an incredibly 59 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,300 common name for women in that day, and there's quite a few 60 00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:46,100 Mary's in the gospel. So it can be hard to keep track 61 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,100 of which mirror is being spoken about when we compare this 62 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:53,100 passage with Other gospel passages the talked about the 63 00:03:53,108 --> 00:03:55,400 same event. It appears that this one that 64 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,500 Matthew calls the other Mary is Mary, the wife of clopas make 65 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,800 the mother of James and Joseph. So that's apparently an auntie 66 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,700 or something, similar of Jesus. So, this is Mary, the wife of 67 00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:13,900 clopas So these two women were Mary of magdala and the other 68 00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:15,700 Mary. They had been at the cross when 69 00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:18,600 Jesus died and they watched him being placed in the Tomb. 70 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,899 So they've been with him for the last few days. 71 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,300 We also know from the other gospels that there's some other 72 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:27,700 women in this group too. So we have salomi who is the 73 00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:32,500 mother of James and John and also Joanna and also possibly 74 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:35,600 some other women as well. They're all there and they go to 75 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,700 visit the Sepulchre. So they're going to the tomb to 76 00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:41,700 anoint, the body with spices out, Matthews text doesn't say 77 00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:45,800 that's what they're there for. But marks text in Mark, 16:1 78 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000 says that they went to the tomb to anoint, the body. 79 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,600 And the reason they're doing that is because you wouldn't 80 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,300 normally do that straight after the bodies placed in the Tomb, 81 00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:58,400 and that's what Joseph of Arimathea had started to do on 82 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,400 Good Friday, but they ran at a time because the Sabbath was 83 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,400 coming. So they didn't get to finish. 84 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,800 So the women are coming to finish the anointing job, but 85 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,000 verse 2 all at once, there was a violent earthquake and there was 86 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,200 also an earthquake at the time of Jesus death, as well for the 87 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,500 angel of the Lord descending from heaven. 88 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,200 Now, this is quite amazing. Apparently, the women are seeing 89 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,000 this angel Lord coming down from heaven and he came and rolled 90 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000 away the stone. Now, that's not an easy task 91 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,700 because these stones are very, very heavy and then the angel 92 00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:32,600 sat on it, and that's kind of like a triumphal pose. 93 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,300 He sat on the stone that has rolled away showing that he's 94 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:40,300 been Victorious over the stone now, according to the Gospel of 95 00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:43,000 John, if you compare this, with the Gospel of John, apparently 96 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,400 this point. Mary Magdalene sees the tomb is 97 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,100 empty and she runs to tell Peter and John. 98 00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:52,300 So she leaves At this time to go and tell Peter and John. 99 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,900 And on the way she actually runs into Jesus at some point in this 100 00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:02,500 Story. 2 verse 3, the angels face was like, lightning his 101 00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:06,500 robe white as snow. So his whole appearance was 102 00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:10,200 incredibly white and that's how angels are often depicted in the 103 00:06:10,207 --> 00:06:12,600 Bible, you'll often in particular in the Book of 104 00:06:12,608 --> 00:06:16,200 Daniel, angels are depicted as pure white, and it's similar to 105 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,700 how Jesus is depicted at the Transfiguration. 106 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,100 So the fact that these, we have these details that his face and 107 00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:27,000 his body is white indicates that Matthew got this information 108 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,900 from eyewitnesses. So from the women themselves is 109 00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:31,700 probably where he found this out. 110 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,500 Verse 4. The guards were so shaken. 111 00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:38,100 So frightened of him that they were like dead men. 112 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,100 So the guards, the Roman guards, see the angel, and they freaked 113 00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:46,500 out and apparently, they pass out from Fear now, that's pretty 114 00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:49,700 significant because Roman guards were tough, and they were very 115 00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:53,100 well trained. But this site was so scary to 116 00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:56,400 them that they just look like they're dead and because they're 117 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,700 probably passed out at seems that they don't hear the 118 00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:01,400 following conversation between the women and the angels. 119 00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:03,900 So the angel says, Is to the women. 120 00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:08,100 Do not be afraid which makes sense often in the Bible, when 121 00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:11,900 Angels appear, God's people. Whoever the Angels appearing to 122 00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:15,000 will freak out, and the angel has to tell them do not be 123 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,500 afraid. I know why you are looking for 124 00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:20,500 Jesus. Who was crucified, he is not 125 00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:23,500 here for. He has risen as he said he 126 00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:26,200 would. So that's what the angel says, 127 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200 to the women. He pronounces the good news. 128 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,000 Jesus is risen. In fact, he's the first person 129 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,200 to Proclaim that in the gospels, the angel He says come and see 130 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,100 the place where he lay. So he invites the women into the 131 00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:44,300 tomb to see for themselves that he's no longer there, come and 132 00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,400 see. Verse 7. 133 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,800 He says then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen 134 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,000 from the dead. So the angel wants the women to 135 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,700 confirm, to go into the tomb and confirm for themselves. 136 00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:59,700 The Jesus is not there and then he wants him to go back and tell 137 00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:02,500 the apostles. The leaders of the Christian 138 00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,300 Community of the Apostles, they need to know that Jesus has 139 00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:09,300 risen So the women here are called to be Apostles to the 140 00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:12,400 apostles, really, they have to spread the good news to the 141 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,900 apostles. The angel says, now, he is going 142 00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:19,300 to Galilee before you, it is there that you will see him. 143 00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:23,800 So, the Angels, want the women to tell the disciples, to get 144 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,100 ready to go the Galilee cuz that's where they're going to 145 00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:31,900 see most of Jesus appearances. Why does Jesus go to Galilee in 146 00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:34,500 the coming weeks? So he has about 40 days of 147 00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:36,400 ministry before he goes back to Heaven. 148 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,900 Why does he spend most of it in Galilee? 149 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,000 Well, that's the place where he did most of his ministry before 150 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000 his death. And he's probably wants to go 151 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,800 back there because it's a bit quieter. 152 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,200 Jerusalem is too crowded. It's too public and Jesus 153 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,800 deliberately only appears to certain people after his 154 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,100 resurrection. And he decides the Galilee is 155 00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:59,900 the best place to do that. So that's the message they're 156 00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:04,200 tasked with, giving the women with giving the apostles verse 157 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,900 8, filled with or and great joy. The women came quickly away from 158 00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:11,200 the tomb and ran to The disciples. 159 00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:16,900 Now the word here for or is probably better translated as 160 00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:21,500 fear at first, they're quite afraid of what's going on and in 161 00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:25,300 fact Mark's gospel reports that initially the women were too 162 00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,700 afraid to speak to the apostles and they don't go to the 163 00:09:27,708 --> 00:09:31,000 apostles straight away but later they change their minds, that's 164 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,900 how Mark has it. So perhaps along the way on the 165 00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,600 road back to Jerusalem, they change their minds. 166 00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,900 Now the next scene we have is the women running, they meet 167 00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:43,800 Jesus. This and this it's not clear 168 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,600 when this happens, it could be that it's right now on their way 169 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,200 to speak to the disciples other Scholars. 170 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,100 Think that when we compare the gospels what happens now is that 171 00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:56,600 women go straight to the disciples and then later, the 172 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,600 angel appears a story later in the morning. 173 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,800 Jesus appears the women. I think it's more likely that 174 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,500 this does happen straight away on the way to seeing the 175 00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:09,500 disciples. Verse 9 and they're coming to 176 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:12,700 meet them was Jesus. Now, what an amazing sight that 177 00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:15,500 must have been they know his resurrected, but now they see 178 00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:20,000 him for themselves, and he says, to them Greetings or hail. 179 00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:22,100 So he's giving them a friendly. Greeting. 180 00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:25,400 He wants to know that he comes in peace and he probably knows 181 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,100 how shocking it must be for the women. 182 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,000 So he gives them this gentle greeting. 183 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,000 The women came up to him and falling down before him clasped 184 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,900 his feet. So other translations make it 185 00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:39,500 clear. Here, that the women are 186 00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:41,900 worshipping. Mary, they fall at his feet in 187 00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:44,700 worship. So the women, recognize that 188 00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:47,600 Jesus has the power of God, and that's why they worship him. 189 00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:51,800 So maybe they even recognize that he is God himself, and 190 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,100 that's why they're worshiping. By touching him physically. 191 00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,500 Remember they clasping his feet here that helps them confirm for 192 00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:02,000 themselves. That this is the real Flesh and 193 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,700 Blood Jesus. They're Overjoyed to see him and 194 00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:06,100 they grabbed him and they worship him. 195 00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:11,600 Now, in verse 10, Jesus is going to use the phrase, my brother's 196 00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:14,500 to refer to the disciples. Which is interesting that 197 00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:18,000 implies that he has forgiven his Apostles even though they just 198 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000 abandon him in his hour of need. So that's quite a gentle 199 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,200 welcoming turn my brothers, some Scholars also, Think in this 200 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,300 next phrase that Jesus speaks there might be a reference to 201 00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:33,000 Psalm 22, some 22 was the some that Jesus quoted a lot while he 202 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,200 was on the cross. My God, my God, why have you 203 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,700 forsaken me? And towards the end of that 204 00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:42,400 psalm The psalmist is Vindicated and he has faith that God will 205 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,300 heal him. And in fact, in Psalm 22 verse 206 00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:50,600 22, it says, I will tell of your name to my brothers and then God 207 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,700 comes to save the psalmist. And so some Scholars think that 208 00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:57,800 by Jesus calling his Apostles, my brother's, he's quoting Psalm 209 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,900 22 here to complete. The psalm 22 that he's been 210 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,800 quoting since he was crucified. So this is the full quote that 211 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,000 he says to the women do not be afraid. 212 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,500 Go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee. 213 00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:18,100 They will see me there. So, they do pass on the message 214 00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:20,700 to the apostles. They tell them that what Jesus 215 00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:24,600 and the angel have said, go to Galilee and the conversation 216 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,600 when the women speak to the disciples, that's not recorded 217 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,100 in Matthew. But if you go to Luke chapter 24 218 00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:34,200 verses 9 to 11, it's specifically records. 219 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,800 This conversation, where the women tell the apostles, we have 220 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,700 seen, the Angel. And the angel has told us to 221 00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:41,200 grow that you need to go to Galilee. 222 00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:43,700 And if you read, Luke 24, the disciples. 223 00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:45,600 Don't immediately believe the women. 224 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 They don't believe their story. Although later that day, Jesus 225 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,300 does appear to the apostles when Thomas isn't present. 226 00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:57,700 So, a whole lot happens in this one day and there's various ways 227 00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:00,000 of ordering the things chronologically and putting the 228 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000 gospels together. It's not easy because the, the 229 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,300 gospels record different events from that day. 230 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,300 So, what happens from here, while the disciples, they see 231 00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:13,500 Jesus later that day without Thomas, and then they wait for 232 00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:16,100 another week in Jerusalem. They stay one more week. 233 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:20,000 The following Sunday when Thomas is present, Jesus appears to 234 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,600 them again, and that's when Thomas gets to put his fingers 235 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,400 into Jesus wounds after they've waited that extra week in 236 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,600 Jerusalem, they then go back to Galilee, which is a 60-mile 237 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:36,100 journey. So that's how passage for today. 238 00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,500 Quite a joyful passage where Jesus reappears after his death. 239 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,800 Where does this show up in the catechism? 240 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,800 How does the Catholic Church develop its teachings? 241 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Based on what we have here in Matthew 28? 242 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,100 So in paragraph five hundred, there's a discussion about who 243 00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:56,900 the other Mary is and in fact that paragraph clearly says that 244 00:13:56,900 --> 00:14:01,400 Matthew 28 is evidence that James and Joseph are not Mary 245 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,900 the mother of Jesus as children, they are, in fact, the children 246 00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:07,100 of the other Mary and that makes sense. 247 00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:10,200 So there's kind of an apologetic argument there in paragraph five 248 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,000 hundred which relies on Matthew 28. 249 00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:17,400 And then in paragraph 2 174, it's in the discussion about the 250 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,500 day. Day of the Resurrection is the 251 00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,700 day of the new creation. It says, Jesus rose from the 252 00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:27,100 dead on the first day of the week because it is the first day 253 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,500 the day of Christ's Resurrection recalls the first creation 254 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,400 because it is the Eighth Day following the Sabbath. 255 00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:36,400 It's symbolizes the new creation, I should him by 256 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,400 Christ's Resurrection for Christians. 257 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,400 It has become the first of all day. 258 00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:44,400 The first of all feasts, the Lord's Day. 259 00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:50,000 Sunday, We Gather on the day of the Sun for it, is the day after 260 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,800 the Jewish sabbath. But also the first day when God 261 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,200 is, separating matter from Darkness made the world and on 262 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,200 this same day, Jesus Christ. Our Savior rose from the dead. 263 00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,700 So there's a nice link there to Matthew 28, where it talks about 264 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,000 the first day of the week and the catechism develops that is 265 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,400 meaning that's also the eighth day of the week paragraph 641. 266 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,300 There's a discussion about the empty tomb, it says Mary 267 00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:19,400 Magdalene and the holy women who came to finish, anointing. 268 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,100 The body of Jesus, which had been buried in haste because the 269 00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:26,700 Sabbath began on the evening of Good Friday, were the first to 270 00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:30,100 encounter the Risen one. Thus the women were the first 271 00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:31,500 messengers of Christ's Resurrection. 272 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,700 Directions for the apostles themselves. 273 00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:37,700 And that all comes from Matthew 28 and then the paragraph goes 274 00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:40,200 on to talk about things that happen in the other gospels. 275 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,000 Paragraph, 6, 5 4 is about the meaning of the Resurrection. 276 00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:49,400 It says justification consists in both victory, over the death 277 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,100 caused by sin and a new participation in Grace. 278 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,200 It brings about filial adoption so that men become Christ's 279 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,000 Brethren as Jesus himself called his disciples after his 280 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,400 resurrection. Go and tell my brethren. 281 00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:09,400 We are Brethren not by nature but by the gift of Grace because 282 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,700 that adoptive filiation gains us a real share in the life of the 283 00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:17,200 only son who was fully revealed in his resurrection. 284 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,800 So, we'll put all those catechism references in the show 285 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,400 notes.
