THE SUNDAY LECTIONARY:  BEST SOURCES FOR COMMENTARY

Many in our faith community are developing the practice of reading and studying the Sunday Scriptures during the preceding week so that their experience of the Word during the Sunday Celebration of the Eucharist will be more mindful, more prayerful, and more deeply rooted in Christ.

Here are some of the best online sources for study and reflection on the Catholic Sunday lectionary:
