Like Abraham, the Apostles in today's Gospel reading heard God's call and immediately left everything behind to do what God asked. We'll discuss what that means for us—and why we hear about Zebulun and Naphtali in both the first reading and the Gospel—in today's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless!
