Luke 7: 11-17 - 'The only son of his mother, and she a widow.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 994 (in 'The Progressive revelation of the Resurrection') - Already now in this present life he gives a sign and pledge of this by restoring some of the dead to life, announcing thereby his own Resurrection, though it was to be of another order (abbreviated).

- 1503 (in 'Christ the Physician') - Christ's compassion toward the sick and his many healings of every kind of infirmity are a resplendent sign that "God has visited his people" and that the Kingdom of God is close at hand. Jesus has the power not only to heal, but also to forgive sins; he has come to heal the whole man, soul and body; he is the physician the sick have need of. His compassion toward all who suffer goes so far that he identifies himself with them: "I was sick and you visited me." His preferential love for the sick has not ceased through the centuries to draw the very special attention of Christians toward all those who suffer in body and soul. It is the source of tireless efforts to comfort them.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Just a really quick message before we get into today's episode. Today is the
0:08.8	commemoration of all souls and there's actually a whole lot of different gospel readings that could
0:14.4	be read on the commemoration of all souls. It really depends on which one the priest wants to pick.
0:20.2	It can differ depending on what country you wants to pick. It can differ depending on
0:22.0	what country you're in and it can also differ depending on which year you're at in the liturgical
0:27.0	cycle. So the reading you're going to hear today is generally considered to be the most
0:32.5	appropriate one for this year in the liturgical cycle. However, it's quite possible that when you go to Mass,
0:38.2	you might hear a completely different reading
0:39.7	because there are quite a few different gospel readings
0:42.5	that can be chosen on all souls.
0:45.8	Hopefully, you still find this episode useful, though,
0:48.0	in entering into the Mass a little more deeply,
0:50.2	and hopefully you learn something new.
1:03.0	Thank you. and hopefully you learn something new. Hi everyone.
1:04.0	Welcome back to the podcast where we do an in-depth look at the gospel reading from today's Mass.
1:10.0	We're all about helping you understand the literal
1:12.9	sense of the text. Today we're looking at a story that you only get in the gospel of Luke. None of the
1:19.4	other gospels recall this one. So we're looking at Luke chapter 7 verses 11 to 17. Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a great number of
1:32.1	people. When he was near the gate of the town, it happened that a dead man was being carried out
1:38.5	for burial, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable number of the townspeople were with her.
1:47.5	When the Lord saw her, he felt sorry for her. Do not cry, he said. Then he went up and put his hand on the
1:55.5	beer, and the bearers stood still, and he said, Young man, I tell you to get up.
