Dad Talk - Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
Sometimes we feel like the people of Israel in this Sunday's first reading: "The Lord's way is not fair." But as Ezekiel points out, it is OUR ways that are unfair. And when we turn from our sins, repent and go to confession, and do good works, we "shall surely live" and will model the humility and self-sacrifice that Paul describes so beautifully when talking about Jesus in the second reading's Carmen Christi hymn. We'll take a deeper dive into these topics 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!
