January 2, 2011: Study and Meditations on this Sunday's Scripture Readings

Happy New Year everyone! To help us prepare for this coming Sunday, here are the readings, studies and reflections for this coming Sunday's Scripture readings. This Sunday is the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, Cycle A. In the Gospel Reading, we see the visit of the Magi, non-Jewish wise men from the East, who precede and foreshadow all the Gentiles who will seek out Jesus as their king.

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

My own weekly study can be found here under "Current Study".

Here are three audio reflections on the readings by Sister Ann Shields, Dr. Scott Hahn and Fr. Robert Barron.

Here is a Catholic Bible study podcasts on the readings from St. Martha's Adult Faith Formation (the other two studies usually featured are not available this week).

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.
