March 28, Palm Sunday: Study and Meditation on the Scripture Readings

To help you prepare for this coming Sunday, here are the readings and reflections for this coming Sunday's Scripture readings. This Sunday is Palm, or Passion Sunday.

Due to the length of the Passion narrative, in this study I am concentrating on the Processional Gospel instead.

Here are the Scripture readings from the U.S. Catholic bishops website.

My own weekly study (along with Don Schwager's meditation) can be found here under "Current Study.

Reflections on the Sunday Scriptures to share with the younger ones in your family by Emily and Jeff Cavins can be found at Family Night .

Here also are links to audio reflections on the Gospel reading by Dr. Scott Hahn and Fr. Robert Barron.

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

Further study resources for the Readings: St. Charles Borromeo Bible Study can be found here, and Catholic Matters can be found here.

Here are trio of recorded weekly Bible studies, each about an hour long:
-- St. Martha Catholic Church Adult Faith Formation
-- Franciscan Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother
-- Sunday Gospel Scripture Study.

I've also started a discussion thread over at the Catholic Answers forums, found here. Check back on that thread periodically, as I'll be updating it through the weekend.

Discussion and charitable comments are always welcome. Have a blessed and holy Lent!

Pope to Issue New Document on the Bible

In the coming weeks the Pope will issue an apostolic exhortation on the Bible. This is an official document that will include some of the ideas that surfaced in the Synod on the Word of God back in October of 2008.

The secretary general of the Synod of Bishops, Nikola Eterovic made the announcement:

"After Easter the pope will issue a document, a post-synod exhortation. It is addressed to the whole Church and all people of good will. The pope will invite all to read the Word of God to find Jesus Christ, The Path, Truth and Life for everyone ".

Joseph Ratzinger has devoted much of his work and academic life to the Scripture. Along with the next document, next Spring he’ll also publish the second part of his book Jesus of Nazareth.
