Over View of the Bible Study of the Sunday Reading
Our collaborative Bible Study is of the Sunday readings for the coming week. Instead of studying a single book of the Bible we study the three readings that compose the Sunday Liturgy of the Word. Why do we study the Sunday readings, not a single book of the bible. The main advantage of this form of Bible Study is that it is liturgical. It helps us to better participate in the Sunday liturgy because we have studied the readings already. Secondly, it leads to a prayerful reading of the Scripture because we are studying only three passages.
Each study begins with an opening song, a proclamation of the Readings, the Opening Prayer for the Mass, and then a explanation of the readings.
Our Live Stream version of the Bible Study is held on Thursdays at 11am. We Live Stream on Youtube. The notes for the study are on-line (See below) as well as recordings of previous Life Streams.

RESOURCES ON THE WEB TO STUDY THE SUNDAY READINGS
The Sunday Web site. This is a great site to reflect upon the Sunday readings because it contains a variety of material including poems and meditations. You could easily use this site to study and reflect upon the Sunday readings instead of my commentaries.
