Readings for the 25th November 2018.Daniel 7:13-14Psalm 92(93):1-2,5Apocalypse 1:5-8John 18:33-37

With readings written by people who experienced the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, or who knew of earlier ransackings of the Holy City, each one of the authors could easily have despaired, but instead they had hope and lead us to hope. Catholic Musings reflects on the readings for the Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B) and looks back on a liturgical year. Readings for the 18th November 2018. Daniel 12:1-3 Psalm 15(16):5,8-11 Hebrews 10:11-14,18 Mark 13:24-32

Elijah met a widow who had no hope as she prepared for her death and that of her son. Compare that to the hope which Paul expresses in his letter to the Hebrews. Contemplating the readings for the Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B), Catholic Musings reflects on November as a month of praying for the dead. Readings for the 11th November 2018. 1 Kings 17:10-16 Psalm 145(146):7-10 Hebrews 9:24-28 Mark 12:38-44 or 41-44

Jesus asked James and John if they could drink the cup he was to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which he would be baptised. They were very quick to say "We can." Reflecting upon the Mass readings for the Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B), Catholic Musings considers the Saints and Martyrs who have witnessed to Christ, but may not always have thought that they could "do that." What about us? Are we able to drink the cup and be baptised with this baptism? Readings for the 21st October 2018. Isaiah 53:10-11 Psalm 32(33):4-5,18-20,22 Hebrews 4:14-16 Mark 10:35-45

The rich young man came to Jesus asking for eternal life. Jesus called on him to give away all he owned. Was this for the benefit of the poor or for the man himself? In his reflection on the Mass Readings for the Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B), Catholic Musings poses this question with an audio contribution from the late Archbishop Fulton J Sheen. Readings for the 14th October 2018. Wisdom 7:7-11 Psalm 89(90):12-17 Hebrews 4:12-13 Mark 10:17-30 (or 17-27)

In the letter to the Hebrews Jesus is described as the "leader who would take them to salvation." Most people looking for a leader seek someone who understands what they are going through. The incarnation, Catholic Musings says in this reflection on the Mass readings for the twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B), pierces to the very heart of this desire. Readings for the 7th October 2018. Readings: Genesis 2:18-24 Psalm 127(128) Hebrews 2:9-11 Mark 10:2-16

John came to Jesus and said that he tried to stop a man who was not one of them casting out demons in the name of Jesus. This passage says a lot to us about isolation and love. Using quotes from Thomas Merton, Catholic Musings reflects upon the readings for the Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B) for the 30th September 2018. Mass Readings: Numbers 11:25-29 Psalm 18(19):8,10,12-14 James 5:1-6 Mark 9:38-43,45,47-48
