Ave Maria in the Afternoon – December 20, 2024 – Hour 2

We unpack the Sunday readings with Rob Corzine and discuss how Christ fulfills the Messianic prophecies with Andre Villeneuve.

 

“Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb”

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Mary travels to visit her cousin Elizabeth, who greets her with the iconic “blessed are you among women.” We unpack the readings with Rob Corzine.

Rob Corzine is Vice President of Academic Programs for the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.

Christ fulfills the Messianic Prophecies

The Old Testament details 353 prophecies by which the Jews could recognize the Messiah. The odds that one man would fulfill them all are astronomic, but what do they say? We discuss them with Andre Villeneuve.

Dr. Andre Villenuevé is an Associate Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Languages at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. He received his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2013, writing his dissertation on the topic of nuptial symbolism in the New Testament and in ancient Jewish writings. His main areas of interest include the study of Sacred Scripture, the Jewish roots of the Catholic faith, leading pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and fostering the reconciliation of Israel and the Church through the work of Catholics for Israel.
