September 20th, Resources for Sunday Mass (Both Forms of the Rite)

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

Extraordinary Form: 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Readings.

Sunday Gospel Scripture StudyExcellent  audio/video.  Not yet postedKeep trying link.

Sunday ReflectionsVery good, brief audio/video presentation.  Run-time 4:25Examines 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 GospelThis 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.
