Today’s Readings: ACTS 6:8-15 PS 119:23-24, 26-27, 29-30 JN 6:22-29

One of the very cool parts of going to daily Mass is the occasional Biblical cliffhanger. Many of us have watched shows where one episode ends and we look forward to what comes next.

This morning marks the beginning of a three-part arc focusing on St. Stephen. If you don’t know the story, I encourage you to keep up by reading along with my handy dandy “Today’s Readings” section above. It is the reading from Acts.

But today, I want to encourage you to go to daily Mass as often as possible once we are cleared for public Masses again. You can even attend virtually until that day. https://www.wordonfire.org/daily-mass/

If you are not able to attend weekday Masses due to work or family obligations, I’d like to encourage you to find a streaming option, or, at the minimum, read the daily readings as part of your personal prayer time. They can be found at http://usccb.org/bible/readings.
