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

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

Here is a Catholic Bible study podcast (each about an hour long) from the Franciscan Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother. The sister leading the study does a really nice job using, I believe, the notes from the St. Charles Borromeo study linked below. Here is a podcast from Dr. Michael Barber of Blessed John Paul the Great University discussing John the Baptist "coming in the spirit and power of Elijah".

The Navarre Bible Commentary for each reading can be viewed here.
