Dad Talk - Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
Today’s first reading from Wisdom makes clear that God’s ways are not our ways. Jesus makes that abundantly clear in the Gospel reading from Luke, when he says we must hate our family and give up all we own to follow him. But don't Jesus's demands make us his slaves? Not at all! In today’s Dad Talk, we’ll explore how giving up earthly things makes us truly free - and why we must always love our parents. 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!
