May 16, The Ascension: Scripture Study and Meditations

To help you prepare for this coming Sunday, here are the readings and reflections for this coming Sunday's Scripture readings. This Sunday, in most of the U.S., is the Solemnity of the Ascension.

(Some places celebrated the Ascension last Thursday, the traditional day of observance. This Sunday they are celebrating the 7th Sunday of Easter.)

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

My own weekly studies (for both Ascension and the 7th Sunday of Easter) 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 is an audio reflection on the readings by 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 is a Catholic Bible study podcast on the Gospel Reading, about an hour long, at Sunday Gospel Scripture Study.

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