New Resource
Here’s a great resource I’d like to share with you to help you be prepared for the readings at Sunday Mass. It’s a free podcast from LIFE TEEN called the “Sunday Sunday Sunday” podcast. Many times when we walk into Mass on Sunday and hear the readings of the week it’s the first time we’re hearing them. As Catholics, we are called to not only read those Scripture verses before we show up at Mass on Sunday, but we’re called to reflect on them all week so that when they are proclaimed at the Sunday Liturgy we are more available to hear what God has to say to us through the readings. There’s two things that should be happening when we read or hear Scripture. We should ask two questions, “What was God doing then?” and “What is God saying to me now through this Scripture?” The “Sunday Sunday Sunday” Podcast is a great way to help us reflect on the readings all week long. It is a five minute summary on the 4 readings of our Sunday Liturgy (First Reading, Psalm, Second Reading, and Gospel). This podcast is prepared and presented by Mark Hart a.k.a. the Bible Geek.
Mark is the Executive Vice President of Life Teen. He has been working in youth ministry since 1991, starting full-time youth ministry in 1995. Mark has a B.A. in Communications from the University of Notre Dame. A perpetual student, Mark continues to study theology, philosophy, ecclesiology, ministry and catechetics. Mark’s main focus, however, is his primary vocation. He loves spending time with his family. Date nights with his wife, Melanie, and tea parties with his three daughters keep Mark healthy, happy and humble.
“…I have a true love for the authenticity and honesty of teenagers. It is one of the greatest joys in the world to see them ‘get it’ and to witness their transformation when they come to believe in God’s love for them.”
