Published by Dim Bulb under Audio/Video Lectures, Bible, Catechetical Resources, Christ, Devotional Resources, Latin Mass Notes, SERMONS, fathers of the church, liturgy

This post contains links to online video, audio, and text resources for this Sunday’s Mass according to both forms of the Rite.  It was originally published on my PRIMARY BLOG.

Extraordinary Form: 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Readings.

Sunday Gospel Scripture Study.  Excellent  audio/video.  Not yet posted.  Keep trying link.

Sunday Reflections.  Very good, brief audio/video presentation.  Run-time 4:25.  Examines the themes of the readings and looks at the Gospel teaching on “The Son of Man” in relation to the prophecy of Daniel 7.

The Navarre Bible Daily Word.  Text and commentary on the daily Mass readings taken from the famous Navarre Bible Commentary.  This Sunday’s readings/commentaries listed below.

Daily Gospel.  This site provides the daily Mass readings and brief commentary on the Gospel, usually taken from the writings of a Saint.

Word Sunday.  Contains text and notes on the readings, including the Responsorial Psalm. Below are the links and summary of the readings taken from the Homepage, which contains more resources.

  • FIRST READING: The book of Wisdom presented the evil as those who attacked the faithful for no other reason than their trust in God. This is truly a trial for the good, but they can take solace in their relationship with the Almighty.
  • PSALM: Sometimes we are lead to thank God even in times of trial, for that prayer is an expectation of salvation. Psalm 54 is such a hymn of thanksgiving in the midst of trouble.
  • SECOND READING: In his letter, James appealed to the higher virtue of wisdom for guidance in the Christian life. God’s wisdom beats the “common wisdom” every time.
  • GOSPEL: Even after Jesus defined his role as Messiah in Mark’s gospel, his followers still didn’t understand. They jostled for leadership positions within the group. This led to a teachable moment for Jesus. Care for the least was the hallmark of Christian leadership.

Daily Scripture Reading & Meditation.  Click on date (Sept 20).

Extraordinary Form 16th Sunday after Pentecost.  Please note that the readings of the EF Differ from those of the OF.

First Reading, Ephesians 3:13-21.

Sunday Gospel Scripture Study.  Audio.  Usually 50 to 60 minutes long.  At the time of posting this weeks video is not yet up.

John Paul II Catholic University.  Video.  5 minutes.  Relates this week’s readings to one another, focusing on the theme of eat, bread and Faith. “Without faith we cannot enter into union with Christ, and we cannot recognize His real presence in the Eucharist.“

Daily Word.  A great daily devotional resource.  Text and commentary taken from the Navarre Bible.

Daily Gospel.  Another great daily devotional resource.  Bookmark their home page so that every time you access the site you’ll be able to view the day’s reading and reflection without having to search for them.

Word-Sunday.  Contains popular and literal translation of the text,  along with notes on the three readings and the Responsorial Psalm. Other resources available as well.

Homily By St Augustine: Text.  Podcast. The podcast is from THE THIRSTING FOUNTAIN, concerning which, see the next entry.

Audio: the Pharisee and the Publican.  About 16 minutes.  From THE THIRSTING FOUNTAIN.  This podcast site could become an excellent resource if the speaker hones his skill-something he says he is intent on doing.  Until that happens try to pay attention to the content rather than the delivery.  He invites listeners to give their critique and suggestions on what he has to do to improve his style.

Audio: A Sermon Against Pride.  About 16 minutes.  From the same site as the previous audio.  I think the presentation in this talk is a bit better.
