Dad Talk - Second Sunday of Advent (Cycle A)

By: John Bursch - Tue, Dec 9, 2025 9:41 PM


So many questions from today’s readings!  We know Jesus is the “stump of Jesse” in the first reading from Isaiah, but how do we know that? If John the Baptist wants to encourage conversion and repentance, why did he center his ministry in the desert and the Jordan River? Matthew mentions that John wore clothing made of camel’s hair and had a leather belt; what's the purpose of this fashion statement ? John the Baptist recognizes that Jesus is greater than John, but why did he bring up Jesus’ sandals? And in Paul’s letter to the Romans, what are the “promises to the patriarchs” fulfilled in Jesus Christ? We’ll discuss the answers to these questions—and learn more about how all these readings are connected—in today’s Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad
