It emphasizes the joy and hope that the resurrection brings, often symbolized by the repeated exclamations of 'alleluia.' The atmosphere of celebration and reverence underscores the importance of this belief in Christian doctrine.

            • 15:00 - 18:00: The Women of Jerusalem The chapter delves into the concept of the resurrection of the body, which is a significant aspect of the Creed.

It emphasizes the vital notion of the reunification of the spirit and body in the resurrection, contrasting it with mainstream beliefs.
            • 18:00 - 27:00: The Road to Emmaus This chapter discusses the theological perspective contrasting the Catholic Church's teaching on the nature of the human body and spirit. It emphasizes that humans are both spirit and body, and when they die, the body is not merely a jail to release the spirit. The reflection touches on the importance of understanding the resurrection of Jesus Christ as a model for what believers aspire to in their own resurrection. It suggests that the transfigured body believers will have after resurrection is significant in understanding one's eternal identity.
            • 27:00 - 30:00: Appearance to Peter The chapter titled 'Appearance to Peter' seems more like a conversation focusing on lighthearted, everyday musings rather than a structured narrative.

There is also a mention of gratitude towards supporters, encouraging them to connect on various social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, suggesting an ongoing engagement with an audience, likely in the context of a Catholic or religious-themed content platform.
            • 30:00 - 33:00: Appearance to the Ten Apostles The chapter titled 'Appearance to the Ten Apostles' does not actually discuss any biblical events.

            • 45:00 - 47:00: The Great Commission The chapter titled 'The Great Commission' discusses the tendency of the church to overlook important events and concepts in the religious timeline, such as those following Diversity Sunday, and emphasizes the need for greater focus on understanding key articles of faith. The discussion highlights the importance of delving deeper into significant religious events, like the resurrection of Jesus, during the 40 days of Lent. A call to action is made to change this pattern and invest more energy into exploring these vital aspects of faith.
            • 47:00 - 50:00: Appearance to 500 People and James The chapter discusses the chronological order of all the post-resurrection appearances of Christ as they are understood from scripture and tradition. It implies that the first appearance, although not recorded in the Gospels, was traditionally believed to be to his mother. The chapter emphasizes taking these events seriously and exploring them in depth.
            • 50:00 - 54:00: The Ascension of Jesus Pieta and an unnamed person watch an emotional reunion between Mary and Jesus, where Jesus returns to embrace his mother.

            • 54:00 - 56:00: Conclusion & Reflection The chapter "Conclusion & Reflection" delves into the emotional impact of religious narratives, specifically focusing on the Stations of the Cross and the depiction of these events in Mel Gibson's film, 'The Passion'. The speaker reflects on a poignant scene where Mary and Jesus meet during the Via Crucis, and how this scene, alongside others in the movie, evokes deep emotions and introspection.

            • 00:00 - 00:30 hey everybody welcome back to another episode of the Catholic talk show we're really excited for this show this Easter show where we're gonna be talking about what Jesus did after his resurrection yeah we're gonna take you up on a step by step account of the biblical narrative of what he did after Easter until the Ascension and we're gonna ask did he appear to marry first what was his transfigured body like and what were all the times that he appeared to the Apostles after the resurrection so prepare yourself for one of the most powerful episodes where we in this octave of Easter will encounter the
            • 00:30 - 01:00 resurrected Christ alleluia alleluia alleluia [Music] alright man we're really excited to have you guys back on the talk show a great
            • 01:00 - 01:30 topic you know this is something that we're all you know as a church we're all you know meditating on this this Easter I've always been fascinated about each account of the experience of the Apostles with Jesus resurrected from the tomb these become such powerful moments of God's mercy the manifest mercy of God yeah it's one of the most it's one of the most powerful things that's ever happened in in human history and to
            • 01:30 - 02:00 really understand each one of these appearances and what a resurrected Christ would do and the fulfillment of the plan of salvation and how that looked from an actual on earth period it's it's mind-blowing to consider and it's something that I think is tragically not meditated on none it's so true I think of Transfiguration I got to spend a little bit of time on top of Mount Tabor or praying as well as a I was able to preach as well which was really really cool than Moses Chapel but
            • 02:00 - 02:30 it's true like how often are we thinking about what our resurrected bodies can do well this gives us a glimpse in a lens to be able to look to Jesus our Savior who is that form of the resurrected body that we will truly live in when we when God through his mercy will accept us into heaven so not only do we we look at this and understand this in spiritually but we can also look at this from a physical standpoint yeah to kind of
            • 02:30 - 03:00 point towards what a physical reality of the resurrected you is like that's cool and talk about an argument for like the resurrection of the body like it's it's part of the Creed yeah it's part of the Creed and it was a debated item throughout Judaism for many many years or different schools of thought even in society today I think most people think they become spirits and they really reject the idea of the the actual resurrection of the body and the reunification of the spirit and body in the resurrection and that is really
            • 03:00 - 03:30 contrary to what the Catholic Church teaches as we are spirit and body that is what we are when we die we are not released from our body our body is not a jail that meant to release us into some sort of elijan fields like where the Greeks where we are not that we are a very incarnation or person and understanding our Lord's resurrection is very important for us understanding what we're gonna be like when we are hopefully resurrected and I think now when you have your transfigured body I think you're going
            • 03:30 - 04:00 to finally be able to dunk oh do I bring my plantar fasciitis with me to heaven because I don't like it I don't think it's gonna happen no you're gonna be yeah super be healed yeah baby oh that's going alright so that's great well my brothers and sisters we want to thank you so much again we're at the you Catholic studios and we want you to subscribe on all of our platforms follow us on Instagram Twitter Facebook as well as connecting with us through every

            • 04:30 - 05:00 back seat sequel stick seat yah yah way man man crazy D is really meant indeed He is risen so today we're gonna talk about so we just got up we just got done with Easter and I hope everyone had a really blessed and awesome Easter but now what I think for a lot of people they consider after this long sprint of Lent where they were they really pondered the for those 40 days the the passion and the Ministry of our Lord and then Easter and the tree to them they're there pondering the crucifixion and the
            • 05:00 - 05:30 resurrection but I think then after Easter people say it's done but that was not the end of the story that was really where the story really picks up right there Easter is not the cutoff date than the story of Christ yeah he physically was resurrected and lived on earth for 40 days that is such a crazy it's it's mind-boggling yeah and consider and it's it's true we under emphasize even you know even just in our devotionally
            • 05:30 - 06:00 we under emphasize what happened no diversity Sunday we go right to st. Thomas which is which is beautiful right right but you know like it throughout the 40 days we do so well as church from Ash Wednesday through the 40 days of Lent but we really don't put in the energy and the effort to dig deeply into the articles of our faith some of the most important points people you know like the resurrection of Jesus and let's change that this year let's really take
            • 06:00 - 06:30 this seriously and and really dig in deep so we're gonna start with the the first experience so what we did is we prepared chronologically according to scripture and tradition the chronological order of all the appearances of Christ after the resurrection in the order that they have happened now this one is not recorded in the Gospels but it is traditionally the first appearance of the risen Lord and that was to his mother his mother that's right and can you I can you imagine that like just you you know you look at the
            • 06:30 - 07:00 Pieta and you look at Mary and Jesus and and just like him just returning that the embrace and they must have shared and I was telling you guys about that that play I went to the cross in the light it's a beautiful play and and they show that right they show him coming back hugging his mother and I was just overcome with emotion because I never meditated on that right I love Mary I love Jesus you know the suffering the Pieta and then this this encounter right
            • 07:00 - 07:30 just amazing to just dwell on you know the Stations of the Cross you know we're we're Mary and Jesus meet on that Via Crucis you know I I was so touched in Mel Gibson's The Passion yeah you know that scene where it just kind of clips tactile Jesus falls as a child I don't think there's any human in history let's watch that movie yeah you go through a box of tissue you lost that part in don't cry you need to have yourself checked yeah you say not have a heart that's beating your
            • 07:30 - 08:00 Grinch yeah yeah but that that scene you know connected to you know when Jesus was a child and her you know falling down to the ground yeah now on the Via Crucis clearly suffering mmm you know our Redemption and and you know our Blessed Mother and Jesus meeting on that roadway and embracing and then this account of the embrace and and you could imagine the eyes of a mother looking upon a son where you have seen you know you think
            • 08:00 - 08:30 of a kid winning a tournament or something and and how excited or proud or you know you get an academic award or you know you get a full scholarship to a great Ivy League school or whatever and a mother to a child would be so impressed and proud but Jesus rose victorious from the grave and his victory over the flesh and the evil you know just the gaze of the Blessed Mother into the eyes of Jesus at that moment I mean so as a parent the feeling that when you're when your child is I don't
            • 08:30 - 09:00 know goes out for the night or is just at school and the joy you feel and they come home mmm could you imagine how much that's compounded when the Blessed Virgin sees the resurrected son of God and her and her her own flesh and her son the sense of a relief for now and just joy it's overwhelmingly beautiful so it's not in the Gospels right that's what I was gonna say it's like where we get this room obviously obviously his mother he loved his mother and that that
            • 09:00 - 09:30 would make so much sense but is there your words come from another church doctors and church fathers they all maintain this like it was a known fact right thorald addition the way they wrote about it it wasn't like what did she or didn't she they assumed that this happened based on all the tradition to church so Agustin Bernadine of Siena Ignatius Loyola Alphonsus Liguori they all wrote about this that that she was the first to see the resurrected Christ him one of the really one of the things
            • 09:30 - 10:00 that I think really strikes me about this is that during the tritium there was the lowest point in the history of the church and the church only had one believing member and that was Mary mm-hmm wow that's a neat that's a neat point yeah the whole entire Catholic Church forth those days consisted of one person that was the Virgin Mary and when we think of Mary as model of the church and Mary in that and how we always refer to the church in the feminine you know well
            • 10:00 - 10:30 that's what a beautiful gift that's so deep to ponder yeah that is there's a really great tradition in Simona Italy so what they do on Easter Sunday is they have a bunch of men hold a statue of Our Lady and she's wearing black robes and then down at the other end of the plaza the Garibaldi Plaza there's a statue that's covered in a shroud and then they pull the shroud off and it's the
            • 10:30 - 11:00 resurrected Jesus and then these men carrying this giant statue the black shrouds fall off and she's wearing bright and dazzling green vestments and doves laugh and they run with this statue like madness and it's like this mad joy that our lady runs and all of the sadness or just goes away and explodes in joy it's one of the coolest
            • 11:00 - 11:30 things I've ever seen in the Catholic faith that actually for me that's encapsulated that the magnitude of the joy that our lady found and I'll put a link to that it's a it's a theatrical representation but man does it nail it it's amazing it's awesome you Italians know what you're doing yeah yeah what'd you think of the linguine they must eat after the white sauce linguini some
            • 11:30 - 12:00 clams [Music] so after that yeah this the next one that he appeared to was now this one is directly in Scripture who was the first to encounter the risen Lord in Scripture Mary Magdalene say Mary Magdalene yeah so not baloney right and so she went to the tomb because of the haste that Jesus was buried in his body was not properly able to be prepared according to Jewish
            • 12:00 - 12:30 burial traditions because it was a it was a Passover it was a Friday yeah I could they couldn't properly prepare so she was going back on the Sunday where she was now allowed to do those activities to finish the preparation for his for his burial thing you know they didn't think he was coming back from so she's going there and she saw you know the two angels outside and then Mary Jesus appeared to Mary and she was the first
            • 12:30 - 13:00 of the apostles to see the resurrected Lord and I don't think that the importance of our Lord appearing to a woman before even the 12 apostles can be overstated and enough when people say well you know the Catholic Church teaches a patriarchy or that the apostles are because their men are more important that that's not that's entirely not true at all or the criticism of you know a misogynistic Institue exactly yeah you know and and especially when everything revolves
            • 13:00 - 13:30 around a woman you know when when you think of from the very origins of Adam and Eve and the importance of Eve to humanity into man but also you know the church as bride the church as in the feminine alarm mother etc you know like so much revolves around that and Mary Magdalene being the first that that he you know reveals himself Mary Magdalene was the first to preach the resurrection she to tell the Apostles yes so so like
            • 13:30 - 14:00 okay so he appears right so you got this resurrected body so he's appearing to her now remember she didn't recognize him at first she thought he was the gardener yeah Wow which is like that's right and then what she thought was the gardener says would why are you weeping woman and they're like they've taken my lord where is he and then she recognized him and she realized that it was Jesus interesting point on the resurrection the resurrected body right because like she thought it she
            • 14:00 - 14:30 thought it was a gardener so like there is that appearance of human but there's also this resurrected body and she didn't recognize him and and you know she would recognize him in his immediately his flesh prior to the resurrection right yeah so but but before she was only but afterwards she was only able to reveal when the the cloud was removed from her the scales were moved from her eyes and then she recognized and she exclaimed rabboni teacher you know and she went to
            • 14:30 - 15:00 cling to him and he said and this is a very it's a very strange fact to me he's like don't cling to me because I've not yet ascended to the Father so that there's I don't know what that means exactly to why someone should not cling to him rather you know his pre ascended post resurrection body and to me it's I don't think it's something that I could possibly know that's a great it's a great mystery it is but we were we were even thinking about you know clinging
            • 15:00 - 15:30 earlier this morning just a conversation and how people could cling to a priest or cling to of a friend or cling to you know and we and we tend to attach ourselves to people that that almost it's like I feel like I'm not alone or I you know and and that's actually one of the reasons why people the leading reason why people listen to podcasts is they feel lonely you know there was one of the greatest statistics and and reviewing why people listen to podcasts
            • 15:30 - 16:00 and to just take a moment and speak to all of our listeners and there might be a number of people out there that do feel really really lonely and we're blessed to journey with you and and it's a it's a beautiful thing to have this connection in this communion on the podcast but this is all with the reason we're doing this is so that you can also develop a really sincere prayer life and get to know God even greater through the Scriptures and through our conversations and and the encouragement you know when you pray and you spend
            • 16:00 - 16:30 time in the response that Jesus is inviting you to receive him to receive his resurrected body at Mass in the Eucharist you know he wants to occupy that place in you and my my consideration is that Jesus before he ascends into heaven the the whole the whole vision of how the established church is to operate we are all supposed to intimately cling to him in that Eucharistic form that is a foretaste of what is heaven so you know it could be
            • 16:30 - 17:00 yeah that could mean discernment yeah so that's that's one thing but in all of these Encounters of Jesus and his resurrected state they are so driven in mystery and so they're they're very purposeful very intentional and one of my favorite parts of that whole thing is that Mary Magdalene then runs to tell the Apostles then Peter and John come running back and they were they specifically record that John got there first because he was younger that John
            • 17:00 - 17:30 got there first but didn't go in so then he waited for Peter and I almost picture like you know like John's waiting at the door and Peter comes huffing and like falls on top him and they're like tumbling and like what's going on you know it's just have you heard this song from Dolly Parton he's alive you gotta listen to it is absolutely amazing it's a meditation on the room that they were holed up in and and Jesus entering in
            • 17:30 - 18:00 through those doors and yeah I've just got Joe's thinking about that it's a beautiful Dolly Parton Jill's good luck for making that song that's right so the next appearance so after Mary Magdalene appeared so it would have been more than one woman going to do the preparation of the body so Mary
            • 18:00 - 18:30 Magdalene got there first so she was she was punctual and the other ones and she was probably the most devoted so she was there first waiting it at sunset so the other women were on their way but Mary Magdalene already saw our Lord and started taking off to go tell the apostles so the other women had taken off too and Jesus then his second appearance was to what is collectively called the women of Jerusalem and they said the angel said you're seeking Christ the crucified and he is not here
            • 18:30 - 19:00 for he has been raised just as he said come and see where he lay and they went and he was not there so then he said they saw him and they clung to him and they they paid homage down this time they were able to hold on to his feet mmm so I think that's another really curious thing like okay first don't touch me now clinging on to my feet illnesses if there was some kind of I'd hate to say but almost like a process to it or like a regenerative period to
            • 19:00 - 19:30 something like that it's it's mind-boggling to think of it yeah and like you were mentioning clean there's a spiritual cleaning and so maybe maybe that's where you know the scales were removed from her eyes like you know that is a sort of a metaphorical way of saying that you're you you were seeing you're seeing something with the heart right so it could have been something where maybe the clinging was unhealthier I don't know the other the other thing that I was considering is you know the
            • 19:30 - 20:00 women of Jerusalem on the Via Crucis you know where where Jesus says do not weep for me weep rather for your children etc right like I think of that and and then they're able to in this kind of cyclical manner now I just get goosebumps you have like this experience yeah so I picture the same the same like he was coming to comfort them like like you were there for me I don't want to come back to you I'm getting shows now
            • 20:00 - 20:30 but no it's that's what I think that's what I think of when when Jesus his first work was what's up do not be afraid yeah so like they were weeping said don't wait don't weep and now he's back you're they're weeping his countenance do not be afraid it's your right is so cyclical that's amazing and and how merciful is our God that we have a savior in Jesus Christ you know and revealed himself as the Son of God who pursues us constantly yeah you know the
            • 20:30 - 21:00 and and he will meet us in the places where we are most afraid he is going to meet us where we feel most broken and ah man that's just so beautiful just like you you go to mass like where's your brokenness bring it to him yeah you know that's the whole idea of what we're bringing to the altar yeah you know we we bring you know the tithing of the community the 10% of our of our wealth we bring to provide for the poor and things like that we we know the passing
            • 21:00 - 21:30 of the basket but what were you really you're you're not wealthy in comparison to God right God is calling this but beyond that you're bringing every you know thing that you lack every you know all of your brokenness you're bringing that to the altar and Jesus's resurrected body is right there for us to receive yeah each and every single day and what what does that mean to one that feels broken it's like I do have a place where I am being put back together
            • 21:30 - 22:00 again here mmm and I am being remembered you know I'm I'm being you know grafted into this body at the altar you know in my brokenness in my broken parts remembered Wow that's I never thought about and remembered awesome so then after he said do not be afraid he said go tell my brother's to go to Galilee they will see me there so again it was immediately giving that command to preach Christ resurrected and he just like flying
            • 22:00 - 22:30 around all over the place says that one of the one of the traits of a resurrected body is that it can travel the speed of thought oh that's interesting too I think you think of Padre Pio and the legends that surrounds him yeah where he you know he's up in the air flying in the air next you know during World War two some of the clouds like a turn around go away you know this mystical stuff or by location you think
            • 22:30 - 23:00 of Padre Pio with that with that gift of bilocation this is these are things that he started to enter into through his suffering through his priestly zeal so we can only imagine we we have these traditions we have these scriptural accounts of Jesus appearing but how often you know how often did he oh my goodness I can't even imagine that we read of dizzy if I moved at the speed of thought because my brain races you talked about getting sick in
            • 23:00 - 23:30 the car it's pretty bad motion sickness gosh yeah whenever we're riding together he's like I need the windows open he's like panting out the window later died it's not a pretty sight all right so the next appearance and this one I think is really kind of playful almost is on the road to emmaus I love them it's it's it it's almost Jesus is like a little wink of humor from him so there's two apostles and they were kind of I think they were kind of fling Jerusalem after like they're kicking a can down yes okay
            • 23:30 - 24:00 they're they're bullying right but the movement has ended you know the the the movement of jesus the nazarene has end to a night blessed home wrapped all and then to a bloody halt so there was fear yeah there there skip and dodge yeah like all of his followers all of us all of the people who loved him you know they're they're afraid yeah so there's these two apostles they were walking down the street and they were conversing it says conversing about all the things that had occurred and you know the roads
            • 24:00 - 24:30 are not empty it's not two people walking this is it's a road I mean it's a long road but there's other people on the road and Jesus kind of moseys up behind them and starts listening and it kind of butts in the conversation a little bit now but it says that there what's in the conversation that's what I think it's kind of humorous and a little bit of a weak friend like he's like okay I'm gonna I'm gonna play with them I'm gonna give them you know a very you know easy way to see me yeah but it says that
            • 24:30 - 25:00 their eyes were prevented from seeing that who he was from recognizing him and they start talking and he just kind of enters in the conversation they don't recognize him and they he starts giving a complete theological breakdown from Moses and all the prophets of all the times that he prophesies of himself were forgiven and he gives a complete summa of Scripture on his own self that is and
            • 25:00 - 25:30 we hear that to an axe and there you know and then all the way along this road way they go and this road to emmaus all right and then they their eyes are opened up at that specific moment of the breaking of the bread and and just back to that Eucharistic altar back to that Eucharistic table where we are remembered and anamnesis yes that's the liturgical word for remembering do this in remembrance of me
            • 25:30 - 26:00 so we are receiving the resurrected body of Christ and I just love how the these two followers and lovers of Jesus Christ encounter the Eucharistic table and now they commune with him in the breaking of the bread and their fear is dissipated and is removed now they are reanimated by that communion with Christ and that's where we find our place of belonging and
            • 26:00 - 26:30 where we also in that cyclical manner come back to Jesus who is coming to us once again and our faith and they give this really cool little note that so the then beginning with Moses and all the prophets he interpreted them what referred to him in all the scriptures and then as they approached the village to which they were going he gave the impression that he was going on further that's I love that but they urged him stay with us for it is nearly even in the days almost over so he went to stay with them and happening that and and it happened that
            • 26:30 - 27:00 while he was staying with him at the table he took the bread in his venerable and holy hands and blessing it and broke it and gave it to them that's those are the words of consecration actually the word and with that their eyes were opened and they recognized him but then he vanished from their sight yes and they're like and that is that is the first Eucharistic miracle yeah yeah and like the recognition of God like going back to the mass first of all the order of the mass is in this passage - yeah you know reading scripture it's amazing
            • 27:00 - 27:30 opening yourself up receiving Communion I'm like what it's the same it's the same cyclical thing with us going to Mass it's like you're your eyes your the scales are gone from your eyes you know you give it you get scripture and then you recognize him in the bread in Mass in a way is a is a parallel to the road to Emmaus it makes me say Alleluia praise You Lord all right so after this kind of playful but very deeply mystical and Eucharistic appearance on the road
            • 27:30 - 28:00 to Emmaus he then appeared finally to st. Peter to our first pope to the head of the apostles and this is a very brief passage all says in Scripture is the Lord has truly been raised and he has appeared to Simon and but I think that that's very very symbolic that after kind of taking care of some some business taking care of the women who were consult appearing to his mother and then establishing a Eucharistic precedence then our Lord took to the
            • 28:00 - 28:30 business of really appearing to to the Pope that's that's amazing to me it really is and it shows that primacy of Peter it shows the importance of who he is in relationship to all the Apostles and the foundation of the church we think upon you know we think upon the the word pay truce and and who Peter is and you are this rock that I will build my church upon you know youth you see how important it is for Peter to
            • 28:30 - 29:00 have that encounter in that manner and again you go back to the relief and the joy and the love right because that we talked about with Miriam with everybody here when there when the you know the the scales were lifted from their eyes you know you think about you know him denying Christ three times mm-hmm right and and then that's kind of like his exit yeah I almost want I almost feel like that was maybe I know this is complete conjecture but that was almost like Christ giving st. Peter an
            • 29:00 - 29:30 opportunity for confession you know that was and I'd like to think that that maybe Peter had his confession in that appearance and that's why so we a brief and not really mentioned yeah his remember meant his remember yeah no I I think of I think of Peter and the importance of Jesus giving him that opportunity to be able to express his love once again only shows once again how merciful Jesus is to us absolutely because we always fall short each of us do and we want to grow we want to we
            • 29:30 - 30:00 want to get better but a lot of times our fear holds us back and I could see you know Peters fear all throughout the gospel you know and his own knowledge of self is sinner and remember when he's like Jesus depart from me I'm a sinful man you know and all the way up until this point now Jesus comes to him once again and he's and he's driving his love ever more deeply into the heart of st. Peter our first pope but you you follow that all the way down to where where Peter is encountered in that road
            • 30:00 - 30:30 outside of Rome that dominance cavada yeah like you know where where Jesus meets Peter constantly on this journey to guide him to that greater deposit of love that ultimately led st. Peter to be crucified upside down yeah we're now the Vatican talk about that a little bit more because he really lays it on him thick a couple of appearances from now yeah yeah so after that everyone's like wow our Lord has appeared to Simon all the Apostles all the disciples they was buzzing now like it's starting to leak
            • 30:30 - 31:00 right like how like a news story I'm like first year a few reports and then all of a sudden everywhere right and that that's the feeling it's picking up steam that's starting to get spread around Jerusalem like he's risen resurrected the rumor is getting around right and all the Apostles are in one place and they're talking about this right and they're talking like wow to Peter but then there he was just in their myths all of a sudden while they're talking about he was there
            • 31:00 - 31:30 behind locked doors and Jesus was just there now Thomas was not there thomas was probably out doing grocery shopping or you know doing whatever you need to be but he was not with them so this is the appearance to the tent behind closed doors while they are talking about him appearing to Peter and they said yeah they were they freaked out they're like oh my god he's here right and he said why are you troubled and why do you questions arise in your heart look at my hands and look at my feet that it is myself touch me and see
            • 31:30 - 32:00 again now you're starting to see more of that progression where it's touch me where at first don't cling to me and then touch my feet and then look and see and then he says look at my hands and feet that it is myself touch me and see because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see that I have again denying that idea that the resurrection is going to be purely spiritual just our soul it is a flesh and bones flesh and bones and then he said this and he
            • 32:00 - 32:30 showed them his hands and feet and then while they were just like incredulous says oh and why they were incredulous with joy and were amazed he asked them do you have anything to eat bitter that's what he said to them do you have anything to eat and they gave him a piece of baked fish mm-hmm and he ate it in front of them I can't well I can't help but think of you know when we do consider what is the reservoir resurrected body able to do you know to move at the speed of thought and and now that there is a sense of enjoying a meal
            • 32:30 - 33:00 as well you know when you think of banquet you know will there be a banker than have it physically physically an S he ate and baked fish baked fish so some good fish and I thought we had an episode where animals don't go to heaven so an easy but not start that fish in heaven must be dogs so then do the fish that go into heaven that get eaten that we're in heaven then go right back to heaven is like do this recycle and just
            • 33:00 - 33:30 keep the Zachary's that google's of the opportunities but no you did like that and to see how your whole concept now shield is just falling apart oh I'm just saying Fisher food you're not friends okay there was a lady that came up to me on the side you know cuz I said Dawson's don't go to heaven you know she gave me and she showed me a picture of her dog listening to the show come on father
            • 33:30 - 34:00 I said okay that one's a loud so again right after eating this fish he gives them again a explanation of the Scriptures and tells them all these things and I think this is arming them like okay you've you were with me but you didn't quite get it and then you saw me resurrected let me connect the dots for you I'm let me properly catechized you look at Scripture and look at tradition and look at what actually happened reality and historical events
            • 34:00 - 34:30 tie them all together so that when you I'm sending you forth it all makes sense and you can explain it to others it was a training period it's really amazing Wow so the training that ultimately leads up to the Great Commission yes right costs this was the appearance to the tent because Saint Thomas was out grocery shopping or in the carwash or whatever people did didn't trust them in the 1st century I don't know I wasn't there so this is what I think probably the most famous appearance for most
            • 34:30 - 35:00 Catholics on the street of the resurrected Christ and that is doubting Thomas yeah now I take exception to the nickname doubting Thomas because Thomas was a lion of faith oh yeah he was one of the Apostles he traveled all over the world and suffered incredible torturous death he's the patron of India I mean he made it all the way to India in the first century on foot and ultimately was killed there but he had one moment of doubt that any one of you people would
            • 35:00 - 35:30 have had to and I know I would have and that everyone dead besides Mary but he's always nicknamed doubting Thomas wind his name is stronger his faith is stronger than I could ever even hope to come to so but in this appearance said Thomas you know had you believed me did you believe in me now because you've seen come here stick your hand in my side stick your finger in the holes my hands and that is just such a powerful image of the actual apostles really
            • 35:30 - 36:00 encountering the physical resurrected that's the moment most people think of post resurrection mm-hmm yeah I when I was going through my discernment process you know God was very generous and gracious to me initially which sent me into the seminary to study and discern to become a priest but I was struggling with so many doubts man just so many doubts and God looking at it from a different scope now in a perspective just kind of looking over those you know 10 years or whatever that
            • 36:00 - 36:30 I was really following the Lord and and trying to do you know what I what I could to pursue priesthood because I felt called to it but I needed to go to the tomb of st. Thomas there's no question in my mind I needed to be there and I needed to encounter in my doubt Jesus saying like look you're not alone in your doubts and Thomas is here with you and Thomas is my I have a little brother Thomas well it's all set but you know like and and next to the Lord I
            • 36:30 - 37:00 mean I just I love him so much but um yeah like I I couldn't have stepped further without him yeah you know in doubts doubts are regular to our journey you know and everything even in even two marriages with family with work with you know our faith journey but a crippling sometimes it is crippling sometimes but but you know the power of the Lord and and the intercession of the saints and seeing people like Thomas who move through their doubt into one of the
            • 37:00 - 37:30 greatest deposits of faith and the most courageous actions of evangelization ever recorded you know it's it's something special so God can do something through your doubt that you're struggling with now as well yeah and I look at like Peter - you know these guys they bring I mean there's part of it it just brings a lot of hope to your Christian faith right you see you you know life is full of a lot of things and you know you look at someone like Peter you like man if Peter could do this if Peter can can you no doubt yeah I mean I just I can't imagine that you
            • 37:30 - 38:00 just you just can't imagine like doing that walking with Jesus so like we're not even like physically walking around with them hanging out with them gazing upon him every day right we you do you're at mass you celebrate Mass but you know you got a rejoin with him in the mass you have to take all these struggles like we're talking about so I get a lot of hope from these guys you know that even the resurrected Christ like it's okay to have doubts everyone has doubts in there if you if you've never had doubt in your Christian faith
            • 38:00 - 38:30 you might not have been exploring it deep enough and and doubts happen it's completely understandable if you ever do experience doubts that's not that's not sinful that's a human nature even even the Pope's and Calcutta dude darkness and doubts my lord it's okay and there you see like the resurrected body of Christ and you still have doubts like that's best living proof of believed and
            • 38:30 - 39:00 not seen yeah yeah all right so the next appearance and now this one is my personal favorite this feels like the happy that the epilogue you know and that's even though that's kind of titled in the Gospel of John so everyone you know you should get this out and you should read John 21 just read the whole thing it take you a couple minutes and it's just so powerful but this is the third appearance to the Apostles so it says that Peter Thomas Nathanael sons of Zebedee so John and James and two other disciples not named
            • 39:00 - 39:30 were fishing in the sea of Tiberias and they went out and Peter's like I'm going to go fishing and they're like we'll come with you so they're out there fish in there fishing all night and didn't caught nothing right which you know seems to happen to them a lot you know for a fisherman they didn't see him they weren't like John and James they had their father had a really pretty well when you went in that time when you have multiple boats you were banking on yeah
            • 39:30 - 40:00 you're a baller on the sea yeah like Forrest Gump yeah I mean you start shrimping yeah it's like I mean that has nothing on the Catalina Wine Mixer they're fishing all night and they didn't catch anything and they see this guy on the shore they don't recognize him he's like you tell some look cast the night cast your net to the right side of the ship okay and then they cast it over and they pulled in so many fish that they couldn't even
            • 40:00 - 40:30 pull the net out like and then all of a sudden Peter recognizes Jesus and it says something that I really like and this is very I see a lot of similarities in Peter to you just this good-natured impetuousness just immediately willing to jump in right so it says that Peter was lightly clad and what he did is he tucked in his garments and jumped out of the boat and swam to the shore the other apostles like to just listen row to the shore Peter jumped in head first and went
            • 40:30 - 41:00 swimming after land that's very much like you mm-hmm and you think you know he's leaving the rest of the fish to pull in the fish which is gonna take some time and he's just like I can just say like think about that yeah where Peter cyclically as well because we're talking about the circles you know but that's how Jesus first called him from
            • 41:00 - 41:30 the boat to make him a Fisher of man uh-huh and then right back at it again Jesus goes to that same exact place where everything started who spokes again and they're not dolly parton no they're not they're way better and that's why you know like the the trepidation of Peter at first was like you know depart from me Lord I'm a simple man I shouldn't follow you I shouldn't be going into this you know and I've said that point I've said my love I should've be you know I shouldn't be doing this but Jesus continuing to call and and
            • 41:30 - 42:00 guiding him through that own self deprecation you know and then he starts following Jesus and we know how many times Peter had his foot and mouth syndrome moments but you know all the way up there's other way that he's like you and all the way up until the point where now what we're talking about at the end of John's Gospel where Jesus comes back to him in similar fashion like he goes to the shores he's in the boat once again fishing he you know he's not catching
            • 42:00 - 42:30 anything and then all of a sudden you know what that what that experience was for Peter think about that you know he catches this great catch he knows immediately it's the Lord he tucks in his garments he jumps into the sea and he he just flies to the shore and it's like that sense of what was once trepidation and Peter like that fear of following the Lord now is replaced with enthusiasm jumping in headfirst jumping
            • 42:30 - 43:00 in headfirst and now he's off to the races to the shores and and that enthusiasm is what animates the church that's what animates the successors of Peter that's what animates evangelization at its core and that's what we need to be about not just you know not just us at the Catholic Catholic talk-show but also all of our viewers and all the people listening we are all called like Peter to dive headfirst into the New Evangelization and we have such a powerful message to
            • 43:00 - 43:30 be able to package and send out and the fact that our fears our trepidation is being replaced by this encountered love of the resurrected Christ and being commissioned therefore without fear to go forward into life proclaiming that beautiful news I wouldn't want to do anything else with our lives man and I love that when they did so they said in the gospel that is about a hundred yards so Peter swam 100 yards and the other fish the other pastas come in with the boat and they dragged the shore and they now recognize Jesus they said they saw
            • 43:30 - 44:00 that he had already had a charcoal fire going and he said bring some of those fish over and he made the Apostles breakfast nice and that's just such a serene so you know there'd be dawn mmm and they're cooking breakfast on the shore and it's just like dudes hanging out and just having breakfast eating fish and Brad and then there's a church that called the Church of the coals and it's on that spot it's one of my bucket list place I want to go there because to me that is one of
            • 44:00 - 44:30 the that's I think that's my actually my second favorite passage the entire Bible it's just that idea of being on that Shore and having that having that peaceful moment with the resurrected Christ and that you want Jesus cooking you breakfast bro well that's the thing I think of too is you know all throughout the Scriptures and all throughout our life we get different for tastes yeah you know and foreshadowing goes on and you think about you know what is that banquet going to be well Jesus gives us a sense of what it is going to be by this
            • 44:30 - 45:00 fireside that's right and then he's talking to Peter he's like Peter do you love me yes Lord you know I do Peter you do love me you know feed my sheep take care of my sheep this is really that church of the coals is also known as of the church to the primacy of Peter and it's just that I just love that whole scene and then where they're talking about st. John and one day you're gonna be - Peter you're gonna be dragged away and changed to somewhere you don't want to go and he's telling him this it's just it's such a powerful scene in the Gospels yeah yeah all right so let's
            • 45:00 - 45:30 move on to the next appearance so the next one is the Great Commission so there's there's a little bit of chronological debate as to if the Great Commission and the Ascension happened at the same times because they appear in separate places in the gospel but the he appeared to the eleven on the on a mountain painfully the eleven not the twelve you know that really this called out to recall that Judas was you know the traitor but he said go therefore and
            • 45:30 - 46:00 make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all the things they have commanded you and behold I with you always until the end of the age he didn't say nothing about the Bible in the way okay I think it's very clear and there's an important thing that they to talk about dispelling some of the more fundamentalists who attack the church is that it is very clear here the
            • 46:00 - 46:30 Trinitarian formula of the baptism in the Great Commission yeah and I use their in baptism you have options for different Gospels I always use that gospel two of my babies I 100 percent of the time who's that scriptural reference because the promised I will be with you always until the end of that I get choked up so I had you saw our listeners during the baptism of Ryan son
            • 46:30 - 47:00 Raphael father rich who we all know is weepy and he's the patron saint of handkerchiefs handkerchiefs I actually cried do with the baptism it was pretty moving baptisms are powerful yeah you actually it feels so deeply you such a good preacher but like I wish I had half the emotional depth as you but I'm yeah you actually opened my eyes up got a baptism a lot more just yeah the experience of it and just the joy of it
            • 47:00 - 47:30 yeah I think I always fall short of like trying to preach or explain it yeah but experiencing it together like it was just stuff man there's nothing like that so the next two appearances they're only actually recorded in the letter of first Corinthians of st. Paul and st. Paul is kind of giving a dissertation on the resurrected Christ and he's saying all these appearances and these are these next two appearances are the only times that these ones are mentioned so one he says after that he appeared to more than
            • 47:30 - 48:00 500 brothers at once most of whom are still living the some have fallen asleep so this one is this is probably the largest sand group he appeared just five hundred believers at once this was not people saying oh but he appeared to me behind closed doors this was open public and widely available I mean 500 people at that time was a substantial crowd you couldn't get 500 people in one place about people noticing it and to have the resurrected Christ there was a very
            • 48:00 - 48:30 powerful public in your faith take it Romans this happened right this was not yes behind lock door this was not for people just like conspiracy saying let's just say he appeared to us no this was open and public this was front page news you know yeah mm-hmm times of Our Lady of Fatima too yeah you know like this yeah revelation and that was that was a lot more than a lot 500 you know yeah but yeah I mean it that's
            • 48:30 - 49:00 so that's only in first Corinthians but that is a very powerful operation what are the appearances but it's also important to note that he specifically says most these brothers are still alive some have fallen asleep so there's two things that can be unpacked there number one go ask them yeah doc didn't do you know you don't believe me look there's almost 500 people have seen it go ahead word for it but then it also tells some of them have fallen asleep that it also shows that there wasn't as some people say detractors of the church
            • 49:00 - 49:30 that in the area Church that it was a cult where everyone thought in Jesus were to return immediately they fully recognized that the bridegroom could be long delayed and that people would die it wasn't something immediately like they theists say they did die and there was still hope even though they died it wasn't where he was gonna come back and smite the Romans like next week right so it shows kind of that us even 2,000 years later some of us have fallen asleep and will but he appeared so it's
            • 49:30 - 50:00 okay mmm-hmm yeah so then in that same gospel letter of the Corinthians he also says he appeared to st. James now say James was the Bishop of Jerusalem he was the first Bishop of Jerusalem so again it's that passing of authority so he's one of the only in the in all of the New Testament where they say he specifically appeared to one person so Peter giving that that papal recognition and then James giving that local bishop kind of commission and
            • 50:00 - 50:30 then there's also the tradition that he appeared singularly to st. joseph of arimathea which was his pallbearer and essentially Jesus benefactor who bankrolled his earthly ministry isn't it a shame I can't help but think about this but isn't it a shame that the letter of st. James is stricken from Bibles and he's like the first Bishop of Jerusalem yeah yeah it's kind of an important position and you know we look at st. Peter's writings and the in the
            • 50:30 - 51:00 scriptures and and how important they are I know when I need encouragement I turn to the letter of Saint Peter but you know James as well you know the two Catholic for some people ya know I and it flies in the face of what they want to avoid and they want to avoid having that having that recognition that maybe the Catholic Church is really where you should be so it's easier to avoid but yeah it is total shame thank God for the Bishop of Jerusalem being so Catholic yeah so now we get to that last
            • 51:00 - 51:30 appearance of our Lord and that is the Ascension yeah now again I think the Ascension doesn't get enough enough love from us Catholics I think that after Easter it's been 40 days and kind of fizzle out a little bit but I think the Ascension really needs to be regaled with great festivals just as much as Easter does it's I mean not as much as Easter but it needs to have that same kind of fervor that this is a very very important feast I love that image of
            • 51:30 - 52:00 Christ in the Ascension you know we could just kind of put that on a platform and have Italians run with that so again with your plantar fasciitis I don't know I really do fast oh my gosh yeah but you know have you ever been to the for the the churchy ascension where where is the Church of the Assumption in Palestine as a yeah it was weird I when I was there I'm gonna I went up there and and it's and it's a hospital really
            • 52:00 - 52:30 it's a hospital I don't know that it's you can go in the in their Palestinian hospital my wife and I got dropped off it was on Google Maps right so I'm like you know doing my tour with her walk down the street met met a sheikh guy and he gave us coffee and pointed us in the direction and it's just like this little tiny church this ascension rock so I'm not really let's see I think we burst on that I have the I think there's a few competing churches that will say that
            • 52:30 - 53:00 this is the point of the bike it's not it's not it's hard-coded into so but it says in the gospel that it's not far from Bethany a village on the Mount of Olives so not far from there yes yeah so this is like really close together yeah well that's where they say for the second coming he's going to be he's going to come up over that hill you know where that um yeah but beyond where's the hill ascends where the Mount of Olives is and you have that huge
            • 53:00 - 53:30 Cemetery that's such a cool place to be right by the way yeah but he's going to come up over the ridge of that of that mountain that's where he's going to appear for the judgement that's cool mm-hmm but you know again though I can't imagine that it makes sense that he would descend there yeah I did I just can't imagine that the how the Apostles then felt afterwards mm-hmm after like first he was crucified then he came back to us and now he's going away were they like was this is he gonna come back again and
            • 53:30 - 54:00 like I don't know if they were left in like like limbo of his he's coming back or if they knew definitively like aren't that guys it's it's time to go you know yeah that's kind of another show like on Pentecost yeah and the time before you know I'm coming along how how long was it from the ascension to Pentecost like in reality right I think Pentecost is 50-day so it'd have been 10 days later from the center yeah yeah it's great yeah so I mean the whole nother show these are things you
            • 54:00 - 54:30 know we wanted to do this show so that people could really ponder yeah resurrected Christ not the Christ that seems to so many people distant and in heaven and not the Christ of his earthly ministry or the Christ even of the passion and the moment of the resurrection but actually the subsequent 40 days the inversion of the 40 days lost in the desert this is the 40 days of a renewed Garden of Eden almost where Christ and God is on you know earth with us in a transfigured and fully resurrected way and in these mystical
            • 54:30 - 55:00 encounters that that we've discussed today we could see that in in moments Jesus is disguising himself in different ways where he's not visible to beholder in the same way you know and this resurrected state is different and there are different things that Jesus can do now but with the point that I want to kind of conclude with is Jesus disguised in our midst still today and mother Teresa lived that out so beautifully and spoke about that so eloquently because the disk is
            • 55:00 - 55:30 disfigured face of the poor you know that we could find Jesus and arm it still and Jesus is still speaking to the hearts of men and women throughout every nation inspiring this greater vocation to holiness and to giving our lives to this this mode of evangelization that we're called to the greatest work that we could ever do in this world I'm in yeah do I don't have an inquisition because you guys are being merciful no this is the only Inquisition is can you bunched everyone how they can get some
