This outstanding website is an international Jesuit outreach of Saint Louis University in the USA. The Sunday Website supplies the coming Sunday’s readings, prayers for contemplation on these readings, aspects of spirituality found in them, and relevant background information. Since the Catholic Lectionary and the Revised Common Lectionary proclaim the same readings on many Sundays of the year, this is a valuable ecumenical resource for clergy and laity from Catholic and Protestant traditions alike.
This excellent homily resource offers a choice of four commentators each week:

The Homilies Project is a resource that originated in the Church of England diocese of Lincoln. Each week’s material is based on the Gospel reading from the Common Worship lectionary, and contains details of the day’s readings, the Gospel printed out in full, a brief homily that is designed to stimulate discussion and prayer, and some questions that you might use either to begin discussion or consider as part of your time set aside for prayer.
It is especially useful for smaller congregations who might not have regular access to a priest or reader, as it has been created to enable people to engage with the scriptures without a licensed and theologically trained leader.
