Over on the right of this page, you'll see a blue square labeled 'Sunday Connection.' It's well worth linking to (go ahead, take a look!), & I'm happy to share it with you. It's owned by Loyola Press, which produces some fantastic educational materials.
This isn't just a reprinting of the weekly readings -- oh no, there's a lot more here. Each reading has a convenient link to the New American Bible online, in case you'd like to read the selection in its context (gotta love that). It also offers a brief background & commentary on the gospel. But there's more (do I sound like I'm going to sell you a Ginsu knife yet?). The gospel reading is also written up in a simple 1- or 2-sentence summary that's easy for kids to understand. (But wait! There's more!)
The real gem of this website is the fact that the gospel reading has games, projects, discussion questions, or prayers for kids -- based on their grade level. Isn't that great? Print out the discussion questions / games to talk about at dinner one night during the week, and bingo-- your whole family is better-prepared for Mass that weekend, and you've shared some good family conversation that doesn't consist of "So what else did you do in school today?"
