For those of you looking ahead to the next Liturgical Year. I am publishing my "Linked" Calendar for 20-21 in installments as I complete them. The links are, to the best of my knowledge, correct. 


I have taken material from past years that correspond to the Year B readings for Sundays and Cycle 1 readings for weekdays with the appropriate links to the Propers of Saints. 


Of course, I will be updating the commentary and reflections daily going forward as always, but for those of you in scripture study or doing homilies, this may be helpful.


Pax, Dcn. Jim Miles
