Dad Talk - Second Sunday of Lent (Cycle C)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
SO many questions from today's readings. What's significant about the type and age of animals God asks Abraham to sacrifice? Why does Abraham cut the animals in half—but not the birds—so the torch can pass through them? How do Peter, James, and John recognize Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration? Why does Peter want to make tents for them? Why does Luke then remark that Peter didn't know what he was saying? In Philippians, why does Paul refer to someone's stomach as being their god? We'll answer all those questions and more in today's Dad Talk.

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!
