April 17th : Study and Meditations on This Sunday's Scripture Readings

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 Palm (or Passion) Sunday, and in this Sundays Gospel Reading we will hear about Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and his Passion and Crucifixion less than a week later.

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

My own weekly study can be found here under "Current Study". Since this Sunday's Gospel Reading is so long, I've chosen to focus instead on this Sunday's Processional Gospel (read at the beginning of Mass).

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

Here are a pair of Catholic Bible study podcasts on the Gospel Reading, each about an hour long:

--Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother
--St. Martha's Adult Faith Formation

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.

Please consider supporting those who provide these free resources. If you would like to prayerfully consider a donation to help the Sunday Scripture Study for Catholics apostolate with the cost of maintaining the website server, please go to the main page here.

Discussion, questions and charitable comments are always welcome. Have a blessed Holy Week!
