Class 28: Christ's Baptism & Public Ministry & Who's Who in Judea

2026/07/19

July 19, 2026 Pages 132-135 (plus top paragraph of 136) Notes (additional): 1. Repent: Metanoia (meta + nous = change of mind) needs to be on an ontological level 2. Kingdom: Basileia (Greek word for kingdom) has direct relation to a key building in Old Town Alexandria, because the ancient basilica style of architecture came from government / royal buildings -- not religious worship sites such as Jewish or pagan temples 3. A fourth key group in Judea not mentioned on p135 is the Essenes from Qumran. Scholars point to St. John the Baptist and St. Mark as key (former?) Essenes who shape the ministry of Jesus.

Class 25: Marian Attributes, Titles, & Sub Tuum

2026/06/18

The Come and See class on Sunday June 14, 2026, follows the textbook Introduction to Catholicism, pp113-117. This was class 26; however, it is listed as class 25 in the podcast series. Discussion of Immaculate Conception and Mother of God (Theotokos) ensued. A question arose: Why does this matter? We must consider: everything that is (that has happened or that exists) is because God has allowed it and deigned for it to be. God is not trivial and neither are his actions. As Christian disciples, we do well to ponder the Mystery with great reverence and humility, recognizing that all that God Who is Love is for our benefit, even if at first glance it might seem unimportant. When it comes to the Blessed Virgin Mary and her Immaculate Conception, the question "Why does this matter?" must always refer back to the Lord and our relationship to the Lord. The Lord chose to enter the world through Mary as his Mother (Mother of God). This vessel of the Lord is a real person and just as we should desire to know our own mother and others we love, we should seek to know the Lord and his Mother better and better throughout our lives. If we patiently await the Lord's answer to our question "Why does this matter?" we will be struck with awe and wonder.
