Daily Bible readings feature Gospel parables and Pauline epistles
Daily religious readings feature passages from the New Testament, including the Gospel of Luke and the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians.
One reading presents the Parable of the Sower from Luke 8, where Jesus explains how different types of soil represent how individuals receive the word of God. The seed represents the word, which can be lost to birds, withered by lack of moisture, choked by thorns, or successfully grown in rich soil through perseverance.
Another reading includes St. Paul’s reflections on the resurrection and his own experiences of grace in 1 Corinthians 15. This is accompanied by a Gospel passage from Luke 7, describing a sinful woman who anoints Jesus' feet with ointment in the house of a Pharisee.
