March 14: Study and Meditation On the Scripture Readings for This Sunday's Mass

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 4th Sunday of Lent, and in the Gospel Reading we hear the familiar story of The Prodigal Son.

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!
