November 29: Reflections On the Scripture Readings For The 1st Sunday of Advent

To help you prepare for this coming Sunday, here are the readings for this coming Sunday's Scripture readings from the U.S. Catholic bishops website. This Sunday is the 1st Sunday in Advent, and features a portion of Jesus' Olivet Discourse from the Gospel according to St. Luke. It also marks the beginining of a new liturgical year; in the three year cycle of readings which the Catholic Church uses, we are going from Cycle B to Cycle C.

You can find my own weekly study (along with Don Schwager's meditation) on my website. Don, by the way, also has some beautiful and profound meditations and resources for the Advent season, found here. Our family has used these every year since our boys were small.
.
Reflections on the Sunday Scriptures for the younger ones in your family by Emily and Jeff Cavins can be found at Family Night .

Here also is the link to the current weekly audio/print meditation on the readings by Dr. Scott Hahn.

The Navarre Bible Commentary for each reading can be viewed here.

Discussion and charitible comments are always welcome. Have a blessed and holy Lord's day!
