Dad Talk - Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
The common thread in this Sunday's second and Gospel readings is that we cannot have worship without sacrifice. Indeed, when we choose to follow Christ, suffering will inevitably follow, as illustrated by Jeremiah in this Sunday's first reading. But when we fasten ourselves to the cross, God uses our suffering to help mold and shape us for eternal life. That will be our focus in this week's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad

About Podcast
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!
