December 6: 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 2nd Sunday of Advent and we will be hearing about John the Baptist and his call to "prepare the way of the Lord."

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 last week, Don has a treasury of 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, 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!
