Much to my dismay, I find nothing for these
readings in my indices. For the
Faithful, with whom I pray, comes a new insight into Holy Saturday. Holy Saturday must have been the depths of
despair for Mary. Then came the
Resurrection, the Ascension, and this occasion to celebrate.

Between November 25, 2011 and November 25, 2012, Personal Notes systematically examined the illiterate 2011 Missal. On April 7, 2013, with Reading 045C 2nd Sunday of Easter_A Catholic Bible Study 130407, Personal Notes systematically began to incorporate material from A Commentary on the Order of Mass of The Roman Missal: A New English Translation: Developed under the Auspices of the Catholic Academy of Liturgy, Edward Foley (ed.) (Collegeville, Minnesota: Liturgical Press, 2011). The hope is that this approach will help pray with the new Missal, despite itself.
For more on sources see the Appendix file. A complete set of Personal Notes, dating from the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 14, 2002 to the present, is on the web site at www.western-civilization.com/CBQ/Personal%20Notes.

Addenda
Due to greater responsiveness at the National Catholic Reporter blog, beginning with the Fourth Sunday in
Lent, Reading 032B, March 15, 2015, my interest began shifting from annotating
my index here, to engaging conversation there.
I may keep up the Bibliography, but without further comment. Time will tell.
Raymond Arroyo, “The World Over,” on EWTN uses fear-mongering, rather
than the Joy of the Gospel to entrance its viewers. In the past, Arroyo has responded to my
concerns, particularly the Reverend Robert A. Sirico, who rarely appears
anymore, with his drivel. Beginning, May
3, 2015, I intend to begin pointing out, here, the role fear, rather than joy,
has in “The World Over.”
By July 31, I had identified a pattern of attack on Pope Francis by
Arroyo. The attack is on what the Pope
is preaching about climate change and capitalism. In the United States Republicans have firm
opposition to such sermonizing, as the forthcoming campaign for the Republican
nomination for President will show . . . or not.
As, on June 23, 2015, I prepared Reading 110B for the Seventeenth
Sunday in Ordinary time for July 26, I decided to begin reading unread book
reviews and articles from Theological Studies for two reasons. The first is I have already read every
article cited in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly. The second is that traditionally
Theological
Studies articles have been more helpful to my prayer
life. I also began reading unread book
reviews in the Biblical Quarterly and unread sections in Reformation Commentary on
Scripture, viz., John and Psalms.
As of February 24, 2016, comments for March 6 were ready for Friday, February 26. Were they handed out then, recipients would have a week in which to prepare to discuss the handout the following Friday, March 4, in time for Sunday Mass, March 6. This means I intend to begin catching up on other material, like income tax and indexing the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, postponed while recovering from the transition of Marty into the next life. If I ever get three months out, again, I then intend to reevaluate the amount of energy placed into Personal Notes each week.
