Dad Talk - Second Sunday of Easter (Cycle A)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
This weekend, we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, a devotion that came from the life and writings of Saint Faustina. What's amazing is that our Gospel reading is about Jesus instituting the Sacrament of Reconciliation by giving the Apostles the power to forgive sins—one of the most merciful acts imaginable. We'll discuss that—and how God wants to refine us like gold until we are Saints—in today'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!
