Dad Talk - Palm Sunday (Cycle C)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
We often talk about viewing the Gospels through the eyes of a first-century Jewish man or woman, and today’s readings are a great example of that. From the “colt” “on which no one has ever sat” to the Psalm response, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me,” and from the words that instituted the Eucharist to Jesus’s death at precisely 3 pm, there is much to unpack 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!
