Dad Talk - Third Sunday of Lent (Cycle C)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
Today is the First Scrutiny for our Catechumens and Candidates, and that means the story from the Gospel of John involving the Samaritan woman at the well. Every year, this is one of my favorite Dad Talks because it allows us to explore the significance of the woman having “five husbands” and what Jesus is thirsting for when he asks her to give him a drink.

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!
