Dad Talk - Easter (Cycle C)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
In Mass celebrated on Easter Sunday afternoon or evening, the Gospel reading from Luke tells the story of Jesus and the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, in which Jesus interprets to them what referred to Him “in all the Scripture.” In today’s Dad Talk, we’ll cover (in less than 12 minutes!) how Jesus was identified or prefigured in every one of the seven Old Testament readings from last night’s Easter Vigil—and discuss what that means for us today.

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!
