December 13: Reflections on the Scripture Readings for This Sunday

To help you prepare for this coming Sunday, here are the readings and reflections for this coming Sunday's Scripture readings. This Sunday is the 3rd Sunday of Advent and in the Gospel reading we hear the people asking John the Baptist: "What must we do? "(to prepare the way of the Lord in our lives.)

This is one of my favorite Bible passages and one that intensely captured my imagination when I first started reading the Scriptures.

Here are the Scripture readings from the U.S. Catholic bishops website.
.
If you want to learn more about John the Baptist as the precursor of Christ and the herald of Advent, go here.

You can find my own weekly study (along with Don Schwager's meditation) on my website. As I mentioned previously, Don has a treasury of beautiful and profound meditations and resources for the Advent season, found here.

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, and an audio reflection by Fr. Robert Barron.

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!
