Curious how the Catholic Church selects the Sunday readings and why they seem to connect so perfectly? In this episode, we unpack the structure of Catholic liturgy, the purpose of the Lectionary, and the surprising logic behind the weekly readings. Turns out the Church has been curating a storyline long before “curated content” was a trend.

Featuring Ken Ogorek, longtime catechetical leader and co-author (with Scott Hahn) of Breaking the Bread. Ken has spent more than three decades forming Catholics through diocesan leadership, national catechetical work, and his writings, including youth and adult catechisms. He currently serves on the pastoral staff of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and brings a clear, practical approach to understanding Scripture, liturgy, and the Church’s teaching.

Discussion Questions:

1. What does your relationship with praying with Scripture look like right now? Are there particular ways of praying with the Word that draw you in?
2.  Do you have a favorite Scripture passage you return to when you pray? What makes it so meaningful for you?
3. How might the Lord be inviting you to pray more intentionally with Scripture—especially the Sunday readings? What small, practical steps can you take to weave Scripture into your daily prayer rhythm?
