'The Sunday Website’ is an international work of Saint Louis Jesuit University. It prepares site visitors for Sunday Mass by supplying the coming Sunday’s readings, prayers for contemplation on these readings, aspects of spirituality found in them, background information, general prayers of intercession and finally, musical pieces being played by selected parishes in North America and England. It is a really valuable resource for individuals, celebrants, homilists, liturgists and choir directors. Since Catholic and Anglican liturgies share many of the same readings throughout the year, this is a very valuable ecumenical resource.

Professor José Antonio Pagola is a widely published Spanish priest, theologian and biblical scholar. His sometimes controversial writings address Christ’s life from a modern perspective, demystifying much of the dogma contained in the Bible and in other religious scriptures. He contends that Jesus’ core message was to present the reign of God as one of compassion. This, he says, was a radical departure from the emphasis on the wrath of God that had inspired the prophets of Israel and John the Baptist. They have often attracted controversy.
Professor Pagola brings the same freshness of approach to his homilies.

The Lincoln Homilies Project is a resource that originated with the diocesan Liturgical Committee of the Church of England to resource parishes for Sunday (or weekday) worship. Many smaller congregations might not have regular access to a priest or reader, and so this resource was created to enable people to engage with the scriptures without a licensed and theologically trained leader.
