New American Bible The New American Bible (NAB) is the biblical translation approved for use in the liturgy in the United States.  The U.S. Bishops provide the full text of the NAB on their website, including the scripture readings proclaimed at every Mass. Emmaus Journey Reflecting on Sunday's Readings introduces participants to small-group discussion materials based on the Scripture passages used in the upcoming Sunday's Mass.  Each passage is printed out along with a few questions designed to engage the heart and stimulate discussion.
