May 20, 2012: Studies and Meditations on the Scripture Readings for this Sunday

Add caption

To help us prepare for this coming Sunday, here are the readings, studies and reflections for this coming Sunday's Scripture readings. In many dioceses, this is the 7th Sunday of Easter. For most U.S. dioceses, this Sunday is the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord.

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

My own weekly study on the Sunday Readings can be found here.

Here are four short audio reflections on the readings by Sister Ann Shields, Dr. Scott Hahn, and Fr. Robert Barron. Here is a Catholic Bible study podcast (about an hour long) from the
--Franciscan Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother.

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, Catholic Matters can be found here, the Catena Aurea ("Golden Chain") of St. Thomas Aquinas can be found here, and the Haydock Commentary can be found here.

Please consider supporting those who provide these free resources.

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