Matthew 10: 36-43 - 'As the darnel is gathered up and burnt, so it will be at the end of time.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 827 (in 'The Church is Holy') - "Christ, 'holy, innocent, and undefiled,' knew nothing of sin, but came only to expiate the sins of the people. the Church, however, clasping sinners to her bosom, at once holy and always in need of purification, follows constantly the path of penance and renewal." All members of the Church, including her ministers, must acknowledge that they are sinners. In everyone, the weeds of sin will still be mixed with the good wheat of the Gospel until the end of time. Hence the Church gathers sinners already caught up in Christ's salvation but still on the way to holiness:

The Church is therefore holy, though having sinners in her midst, because she herself has no other life but the life of grace. If they live her life, her members are sanctified; if they move away from her life, they fall into sins and disorders that prevent the radiation of her sanctity. This is why she suffers and does penance for those offenses, of the means of salvation" has been deposited. It is in her that "by the grace of God we acquire holiness."

- 1034 (in 'Hell') - Jesus often speaks of "Gehenna" of "the unquenchable fire" reserved for those who to the end of their lives refuse to believe and be converted, where both soul and body can be lost. Jesus solemnly proclaims that he "will send his angels, and they will gather . . . all evil doers, and throw them into the furnace of fire," and that he will pronounce the condemnation: "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire!"

- 333 (in 'Christ with all his angels') - They will be present at Christ's return, which they will announce, to serve at his Judgement (abbreviated).

0:00.0	Hello everyone. Welcome to Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast. If you're new to this podcast, we're all about
0:17.8	taking a look at the gospel readings, which I read at each day's Catholic Mass,
0:21.9	and really diving into the text of the gospels themselves.
0:25.4	So what is the text saying on the most basic level, on the literal level?
0:31.3	What was Jesus trying to communicate to his hearers?
0:34.0	What was the gospel author trying to get across to their original audience.
0:38.5	So really looking at the text itself, which the Catholic Church teaches, is where we must
0:42.8	start if we want to understand scripture.
0:45.1	At the moment, we're moving through the gospel of Matthew, and we're looking at chapter 13,
0:50.1	verses 24 to 30 and 36 to 43.
0:55.0	Now, this episode is going to be the same in two days across this time period.
1:01.5	So the parable itself, which is the wheat and the weeds, or sometimes called the wheat and the tears.
1:08.0	And that is, the parable itself is read on Saturday of week 16 in the
1:13.8	lectionary reading on that day. So that's verse 24 to 30. And then three days later on Tuesday of
1:19.5	week 17, the interpretation of the parable is read in the lectionary. And that will be verses 36 to
1:25.7	43. And where possible, we always want to know what Jesus's intention was in giving us the
1:31.7	parable.
1:32.5	And this is one of these parables where Jesus himself explains what he means by the parable.
1:37.3	So we want to keep the parable itself and Jesus' own interpretation of the parable together.
1:42.6	So that means, depending on when you're
1:44.3	listening to this episode, this episode is going to be the same on Saturday of week 16 in ordinary
1:49.9	time and then Tuesday of week 17 in ordinary time. So Matthew chapter 13 versus 24 to 30 and then
