Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings

Faithful Dad Talk listeners will immediately look for the connection between the first reading and the Gospel reading and say, "Aha!  Both of these readings involve curing leprosy!" But the connections and meaning run much deeper than that. To see them, we need to study Elisha and this mysterious Naaman figure in the reading from 2 Kings. Learn all about that, and much more, in today’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!
