Matthew 8 Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servaant

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/10/31

Jesus heals a Centurion's servant without touching the ill person, but simply by his word by the intercession of the servant's master. This master, a pagan Roman and a soldier, shows great faith, even more so than what Jesus finds among the sons of Israel. Jesus goes further that those other nations that were former enemies of Israel, the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Persians. This healing, Jesus' admonition to the Israelites/Judeans/Jews, and the promise to the Gentiles is foretold in

Genesis 43 part II The Church Foretold in the Sons of...

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/10/28

From Moses to St. Paul to St. Cyril of Alexandria to the Second Vatican Council in the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium; a continuity exists as God designs His Church, beginning with the topology foreshadowed in Genesis 43. God's plan is eternal to gather all men into His everlasting covenant in the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.

Matthew 8 Cleansing of the Leper

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/10/24

Jesus descends the mountain, and after having given the new Law of the Gospel, he begins performing miracles. The first miracle of the ten in Chapters 8 and 9, Matthew is recounting the ten plagues that God did in Egypt to curse the Egyptians. Now Jesus heals. We lookin depth the first miracle and how Jesus is fulfilling the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:15-19. We also look at Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and 2Kings 5:1-14 as Jesus fulfills all of these aspects of the Old Testament. We here from St

Matthew 7 Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/10/17

What is a prophet? Who were the prophets and what did they do and say? Who were the false prophets then, and who are the false prophets now? Are they in or outside the Church or both? How can we know who the wolves are when they appear in sheep's clothing? WE look to Augustine, Jerome, Gregory the Great and also, Dr. Hahn and Pope Benedict XVI to gain insight into how to discern the good from the evil, good fruit from poison and the shepherds from the wolves.

Matthew 7 Part II Ask, Seek, Knock

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/10/14

What does Jesus mean by not casting pearls before swine? How we should treat holy things? How can we know these things, but through asking, seeking and knocking through prayer. We hear from St. Augustine and Pseudo-Chrysostom and Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch's Ignatius Catholic Study Bible.

Genesis 43 Part I The Worm That Never Dies

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/10/10

We review Chapter 43 and then consider the thoughts of St. John Chrysostom regarding the sons of Israel (Jacob) when, driven by famine to go to Egypt and meet Joseph. St. John describes how Joseph's brothers consciences, convict them when Joseph treats them roughly and accuses them as spies. They are convicted of their crime when they suffer distress at the hands of Joseph. Yet Joseph treats them with great kindness by supplying them with grain without cost. Yet demands to see his younger full

Genesis 42 Joseph's Brothers Recognize Their Sin

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/10/07

Being treated as spies and roughly so, Joseph's brothers, who had attempted to kill him, but sold him into slavery and lied to their father, come to acknowledge their sin. Simeon, the oldest, whose job it was to protect Joseph, is held in prison as a hostage to test them. It is through this that they begin to come to repentance. Recognizing our sin, which sometimes comes only as through punishment, is the beginning of repentance.

Matthew 7 Part I Judging Others

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/10/03

What does it mean to not judge? How do we then know right from wrong? Should we not correct others who's behavior is not in keeping with the commands of the Gospel? How can we live according to the commands of Christ if we cannot judge our own behavior or those whom we love? We gain insight by looking to Ezekiel and St. Paul in Scripture. We look at commentaries from Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, St. Jerome, St. Chrysostom and end with St. Augustine.

Matthew 6 Who Will You Serve?

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/09/26

When we see with the eye of the soul, we see the things of this world as things to be used to further the kingdom, to serve others and the Church. Jesus reiterates the Law of Moses in sharing what we have been given with those who are in need. If the eye of the soul is illuminated by God, we serve that which we see and to where our heart is turned. Anxiousness is rooted in not living in the now, but rather having concerns about the future, when God is a loving Father, Who only desires our well

Genesis 41 Part II Remaining Steadfast in Trial

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/09/23

We discover the topology of Joseph as a Christ like figure in the Old Testament. We hear from St. John Chrysostom and look at Psalms, Daniel and Matthew. We can see in the life of Joseph a foreshadowing of the life of Christ.

Matthew 6 When You Fast; Where is Your Treasure

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/09/19

Jesus teaches us to fast. What is the teaching of the Church on fasting? We look to the Catechism and the Code of Canon Law to see what the official teaching is on these aspects of piety. So How do we fast and what do I do with my treasure? What is my treasure? And where is my treasure? We look to Psalm 49, St. John Chrysostom and St. Jerome to see what this means.

Genesis 41 Part I Joseph's Resurrection

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/09/16

Pharaoh has a dream that none can interpret. Not the priests of their religion, not his magicians, nor Pharaoh's "wise men" could interpret the dream. Joseph is remembered by the butler, the wine bearer and Joseph is brought before Pharaoh.God, through Joseph, properly interprets Pharaoh's dream. Joseph is appointed to the office of Vizer of Pharaoh. We go through Haydock's Commentary to understand the literal meaning, and look to the foreshadowing in this as it relates to

Matthew 6: The Lord's Prayer

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/09/05

The Fathers break down for us the Lord's prayer and what it means, what is it means. In order to understand this, we must go back to the original Greek text. What is this daily bread that we ask for? Does God lead us into temptation? How do we gain knowledge of ourself and any weakness that must be corrected to become fully refined in virtue.

Genesis 40 Joseph's Virtue Shines in the Darkness

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/09/02

Joseph interprets the dreams of the Baker and the Butler. Joseph doesn't rail against those that have done him great injustice and falsely accused him. Rather, he only states his innocence and asks the butler to remember him when he is restored to his position. We hear from St. John Chrysostom extolling the virtues of Joseph. We look at St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians and the Gospel According to St. Luke in the New Testament to bring out the typology noted in the text and according to St. John

Matthew 6; How to Pray

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/29

When we pray are we praying for the Glory of God or vain glory for myself? What about repetitive prayer like the heathens? Is the Rosary, the litany of the Saints, the Precious Blood or the litany of the Blessed Virgin a reconstitution of the prayers like the heathens? Aren't those prayers simple repetition? We look to the Fathers, principly Augustine and Chrysostom, but also we look into the Old Testament and see that litanies are part of our heritage as the people of God.

Joseph Escapes Potiphar's Wife, and Goes Back to...

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/26

Joseph retains his virtue by escaping Potiphar's lustful wife. Potiphar has Joseph put into a dungeon. We see by reading the Hebrew text that Joseph would seem to be in the same position as when his brothers put him into a pit. Joseph remains trusting in divine providence and God deals favorable with Joseph as Joseph remains in his virtue, particularly his meekness and docility to the Lord's working in his life. We see how Potiphar's wife is a portrayal of wickedness in the face of virtue.

Matthew 6 Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving Part I

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/22

The three basics of Christian life Jesus affirms what every Jew would have known as basic piety. But Jesus tells us not to do this for others to see. Yet we engage in public prayer, particularly in the worship of God through the Sacrifice of the Mass. How do we square that circle? The Fathers give us the answer. We also look to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Genesis 39 Part I, The Virtue of Joseph Displayed in...

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/19

Joseph is a topological Christ and displays great virtue in the midst of many trials and in the face of great temptation. Joseph's is graced by God and prospers in everything he does, as do those to whom he is a servant. We hear from St. Cyril of Alexandria and St. John Chrysostom to gain insight into how the events of Joseph, son of Israel, are timeless and perhaps more so now in these our times.

Matthew 5 Internal Disposition of the Moral Law

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/15

Jesus teaches that the internal disposition of the person brings about transgressions of the law. Anger brings about murder, lust adultery which leads to divorce, swearing oaths leads to lies, retaliation leads to vengeance and injustice, love of enemies and not just those who can return that love.

Genesis Chapter 38, Judah and Tamar

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/12

The failures and sinfulness of man do not thwart God's purposes for the salvation of man realized in Jesus. In fact, it is precisely through man's failures and sin that God weaves His story and shows man's need for Him and how He shows man to himself. Even within this illicit union of Judah and Tamar, God brings forth the lineage of King David and the everlasting King, Jesus.
