<p>This week's readings include the difficult teaching that suffering is our vocation as Christians. We suffer for Christ, our Good Shepherd, because he suffered for us. We'll discuss that subject - and why it was such a big deal for the early Christians to call Jesus "Lord" - in today's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad</p>

Dad Talk - Fourth Sunday of Easter (Cycle A)

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 &amp; 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!
