About this episode

This episode explores the theme of love through scripture and literary references.

Scripture John 20:1–2 (NIV) Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!" Refrain Love is the path and love is the guide. Quote Dante, from Paradiso , Canto 33 trans. Allen Mandelbaum "But already my desire and my will were being turned like a wheel, all at one speed, by the Love that moves the sun and the other stars." Hosted on Acast.
