Dad Talk - Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
It is 100% true that Jesus is loving and inclusive--something you hear from many people today. But it is equally true that Jesus wants us to repent from our sins. And if you place yourself outside the Church by violating God's commandments, Jesus will honor that choice. That's why it's so important that we, as members of the Church, call sinners to conversion. Everyone should be called to Christ; everyone should also be given the truth about the necessity of conforming their life to God's laws. This week's Sunday Mass readings emphasize that point, and so will 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!
