Roman Catholic Lectionary Web site
Many websites provide easy access to the scripture readings assigned to particular Sundays and/or Weekdays in various church Lectionaries. This web site has comprehensive tables of the scripture readings from several Latin and English editions of the Roman Catholic Lectionary for Mass, so that you can easily obtain an overview of all the readings used in a particular liturgical season (Advent, Christmas, etc.) and/or in a particular year of Ordinary Time (Sundays in Years A, B, C;  Weekdays in Years I & II). There are also many cross-references and some comparative analyses so that you can more easily see the differences between various editions of the Lectionary.

Scripture Catholic
This site provides over 2,000 Scripture citations from the Old and New Testament that explain and defend the teachings of the Catholic Church. Each citation is followed by a one-line exegesis of a point of Catholic teaching and assumes the reader has some understanding of the Protestant position. The site is intended to function as a quick Scriptural reference guide, and must of course be accompanied by further study of the Scriptures, the early Church Fathers and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Hopefully, this easy format serves as a useful tool for the Catholic apologist and others who are interested in the Scriptural basis for the teachings of the Catholic faith.

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is an assembly of the hierarchy of the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands who jointly exercise certain pastoral functions on behalf of the Christian faithful of the United States. The purpose of the Conference is to promote the greater good which the Church offers humankind, especially through forms and programs of the apostolate fittingly adapted to the circumstances of time and place. This purpose is drawn from the universal law of the Church and applies to the episcopal conferences which are established all over the world for the same purpose.
