Summary
Ever wondered exactly how Catholics are supposed to interpret and read the Bible? Is there a pattern or priority order we're supposed to follow?
Matthew Leonard is joined by Father Michael Mitchell and his brother, Father Jason Mitchell, for a highly informative talk on the 4 senses of Scripture and the basics of interpretation.
This is really important because if you don't really know how to approach Scripture properly, not only will your personal reading suffer, but your participation in the mass will suffer, as well...and that would be a tragedy of biblical proportions.

| 0:31.4 | but how they can be applied practically to |
| 0:33.6 | particular the readings of the mass. |
| 0:35.9 | In fact, my guests are going to do a practical application |
| 0:38.6 | of these four senses of scripture |
| 0:40.4 | to a set of readings, a particular set, |
| 0:43.0 | so that we can basically help our old |
| 0:45.2 | participation in the litters of the word and also we're going to talk about a |
| 0:48.6 | resource that they're working on to help priests prepare their homilies for |
| 0:52.5 | mass and we all like that. And this is important from a bigger perspective because |
| 0:57.0 | we need to know as Catholics how to approach the Bible properly. And if we don't |

| 1:05.7 | problem for how it is to kind of read and engage scripture privately, but also how we encounter it in |
| 1:11.6 | the liturgy, which really in a lot of ways is the more important aspect of scripture, because |
