Dad Talk - Third Sunday of Lent (Cycle A)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
St. Augustine famously wrote, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” That's absolutely true. But sometimes we forget that Jesus's heart is also restless until we rest in Him. This week's Dad Talk will unpack the Gospel story about the Samaritan woman at the well, and how that story's details serve as a powerful reminder of what Jesus wants from us—during our Lenten journey and every day. As we celebrate the First Scrutiny for those entering the Church this Easter Vigil, please share this Good News 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!
