Dad Talk - Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
This week's first reading from Isaiah and Gospel reading from Matthew emphasize the abundant life and gifts we receive when we heed and rely on God. But our second reading from Paul's letter to the Romans is even more challenging, exhorting us to love and trust God through our suffering. We'll discuss what that means — and the difference between Matthew's passages about the feeding of the 5,000 versus the feeding of the 4,000 — 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!
