Acerca de Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings

Seeking to understand more about the Sunday Mass readings, I started reading Bible commentaries after Mass several years ago, then giving a 15-minute talk to our children about the context of the readings (history, geography, etc.) and their relationship to each other. We called these "Dad Talks." Over time, we started to share them with others. To dive even deeper, I recommend acquiring your own copy of my source materials: Brant Pitre & John Bergsma's "A Catholic Introduction to the Bible," the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture set, and various books mentioned in the Talks. God bless!

Dad Talk - Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)

Through our choices, we decide what type of ground we're going to be in response to God's Word: hard, rocky, thorny, or fertile. And when we choose to allow that Word, Jesus, to grow within us, our reward is suffering. Wait. What? Yes! In this Sunday's second reading, Paul promises us suffering when we follow Jesus. We'll dive into that — and how this Sunday's first reading from Isaiah flows beautifully into the Gospel reading from Matthew — in this week's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless!

Dad Talk - Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)

There are only three times in the entire Gospel of Mathew where Jesus speaks out loud to God the Father, and this Sunday's Gospel reading is one of them. When Jesus shows us how to pray, we should listen! We'll discuss the lessons Jesus imparts - and unpack a potentially confusing passage from Paul - in this week's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless!

Dad Talk - Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)

This Sunday's Gospel reading includes one of Jesus's most difficult challenges to his apostles - and to us: "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me." Does Jesus really mean all this? We'll dig into that answer in today's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad

Dad Talk - Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)

It can be difficult to speak the truth about God and human flourishing in today's hostile culture. But it's not any more difficult than it was for the apostles or the Old Testament prophets. In this week's Sunday readings, Jeremiah and Jesus have some advice for how we should go about doing that. We'll discuss their wisdom in this week's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad

Dad Talk - Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)
