Sunday, October 28, 2012: Resources for Sunday Mass (Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms)

THIS POST IS NOT YET COMPLETE.

ORDINARY FORM
THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

READINGS AND OFFICE:

• Mass Readings in the RNAB Translation. Used in the USA.

• Mass Readings in the NJB Translation. Used in most English speaking countries. Scroll down. I’ve seen conflicting reports concerning whether or not it is the JB, or the NJB that is currently used in most English speaking nations. If anyone knows of a Bishop’s Conference site that has a set up similar to the US Bishop’s site linked above (but using the JB or NJB), please let me know.

• Divine Office.

• Anglican Use Daily Office. ”Briefly, it is a provision for an “Anglican style” liturgy similar to the Book of Common Prayer as an ecclesiastically approved variant on the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church.” More info.

GENERAL RESOURCES:sites that usually deal with the readings as a whole. Commentaries on the individual readings further below.

• Word Sunday. The readings in both and literal translation, notes on the text, podcast, children’s reading.

• Sacerdos.  Gives the theme of the readings, the doctrinal message, and pastoral application.

• Lector Notes. Brief historical and theological background on the readings. Can be printed out, copied, and used as bulletin insert.

• Scripture Speaks. I’ve linked to the archive. This Sunday’s post not yet available (site hasn’t been updated in a couple of weeks).

• The Bible Workshop. Links to several relevant articles, contains a reading guide to the gospel text, a comparison of the readings, suggestions for a lesson (i.e., homily).

• The Wednesday Word.  It’s about the Sunday readings, but the document is posted on Wednesday, hence the name. Designed for prayer and reflection, the pdf document ends with Father Dom Henry Wansbrough’s reflections on the first and second readings. Fr. Wansbrough is General Editor of the New Jerusalem Bible and contributed commentaries on Matt, Mark, and the Pastorals in A New Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture.

• St Charles Borromeo Parish’s Bible Study Notes. Notes on all the readings, usually with some background info as well.
