Dad Talk - Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
This Sunday's Gospel reading is difficult because it seems like Jesus is being mean to a woman because she is not Jewish, i.e., not part of the chosen people. But instead, he is challenging her - and all Gentiles - to repent and believe in the Gospel. In this week's Dad Talk, we'll sort out those details by viewing the Gospel reading through the prism of the first and second readings. In doing so, we'll be reminded that salvation is for everyone. 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!
