About this prayer

Read today's Gospel from the Mass of the day. A brief encounter with Christ's words as they are proclaimed in churches around the world.

History

The reading of the Gospel is the summit of the Liturgy of the Word. From the earliest centuries, the Church has assigned specific Gospel passages to each day of the liturgical year, so that the faithful might walk with Christ through the mysteries of salvation.

How to pray it

Read the Gospel slowly. Let the words sink in. You may wish to read it a second time, pausing where something strikes you. Consider what our Lord is saying to you today through this passage.
