Good News
Spending time in prayer with the readings before Mass will significantly reinforce your comprehension of and provide an opportunity to reflect on the Word of the Lord as it is proclaimed. Whether you begin with a literal read, listening to a podcast, or watching a video reflection, you open your heart to a deeper dive with our Lord. Go to https://bible.usccb.org/ to find the Scriptures for not only Sunday, but for every day. Also, check out one of the weekly Sunday Gospel reflections below.
