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!

Dad Talk - The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Cycle A)
<p>Jesus's true presence - body, blood, soul, and divinity - in the Eucharist is one of the Catholic Church's distinctive doctrines, the source and summit of our faith. And though the mystery of the Eucharist is revealed in the Bible beginning in Genesis and continuing all the way to the Book of Revelation, the readings for this Sunday's Solemnity are key pieces of the puzzle. We'll dive deeply into these readings because it's so important to understand that our lives are united with God's when we receive the Eucharist in faith.</p><p>PLEASE share this Dad Talk episode with a friend, especially one who struggles accepting that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. God bless! Dad</p>
