Dad Talk - First Sunday of Advent (Cycle A)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
Happy Advent and happy Church New Year! It's that time when we prepare for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. But this preparation period is not simply to celebrate Jesus's birth; it's a time to prepare for the second coming of Jesus at the end of Time, when all people and all nations will be judged. In today’s Dad Talk, we'll discuss how today’s Advent readings instruct us to prepare. 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!
