Dad Talk - Fifth Sunday of Lent (Cycle C)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
Today's wonderful Gospel reading about Lazarus invites many questions: Why did Jesus wait “two days” after learning Lazarus was sick? Why did Jesus weep, and why was he “perturbed” when he arrived in Bethany? And what does all this have to do with Ezekiel’s prophecy in the first reading, or Paul’s promise in the second reading? Answers to all these questions—and more—in today’s Dad Talk.

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!
