Sunday Liturgical Readings and Catechism Doctrine

For Catholics who want to learn the doctrine connected with the Sunday liturgical readings, and discuss with the family the teaching content of the Gospel of the day, the Vatican issued a Homiletic Directory just last year 2015 that can be useful for this purpose.

The document can be found here.
