www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Faith & Theology Readings and Gospel for the Day

Awesome. Subscribed. Tropar/kontakia will be a welcome addition.

Though not what the original poster was seeking, our diocese has the Epistle and Gospel on its website each day. http://www.acrod.org/cgi-bin/dailyreading.cgi It is the first webpage that I look at each day.

St. Luke's Byzantine Catholic Church does a daily podcast of daily prayer and readings... You can even download the podcasts for free...

FYI: At goarch [goarch.org] bottom of the page: "Subscribe to the Daily Readings List to receive daily emails containing Scripture readings and Lives of the Saints."

I like it because the email contains the text of the readings and Synaxarion. The email goes to my cell phone so I can have the readings with me in that highly portable format.

Christos Anesti!!!
And good morning!! I am confirmed Roman Catholic, but am transitioning over to Byzantine Catholic. I'm noticing that the daily readings here don't always line up with the daily readings on the actual "paper calendar" that I received from my parish. Which should I be paying more attention to??

Tnanks!!

hello again!!
that would be Cleveland, OH for my Loc: Thanks!!

johnnyp, from what jurisdiction or Church are you getting your "paper calendar"?

I'm in Cleveland. Eparchy of Parma. I belong to the Cathedral. I was given the Parish's calendar for 2010.

On the Forum I use excerpts from the daily readings. Usually they are from the movable cycle (today was the Sunday of the Samaritan Woman). Occasionally they are from those assigned to the day of the year (the fixed cycle). Sometimes the fixed feast day (the readings for the calendar date) trumps the ones from the movable cycle. Other times the readings assigned by the movable cycle trumps the one assigned to the day. Sometimes I make minor typos. Sometimes I make major mistakes. And occasionally I forget to update them for that particular day! [A very short explanation but I hope it is understandable.]

The readings on the lectionary page on the website have the movable cycle of readings listed first, and then a listing of the assigned readings for the major feast days. There are occasions where the listed reading will vary by a verse (for example, starting with verse 7 of a chapter rather then verse 8). I don't remember the source of that listing (the lectionary has been on the website in one form or another for probably over 10 years). There may be other differences. I have not seen the wall calendar for several years and have never compared the two. What your local Church provides you with is official. Anything provided anywhere on this website is unofficial.

The best online Menalogion I have found is here:

and best of all, it's free! It accommodates both Julian and Revised Calendar, and includes many lesser known Saints. I use mine daily.

[b]Thank you so much for clearing this up. The more I read and learn, especially where the moveables and immoveables are concerned, I get it and was suspecting that is what the issue was. Thanks again. I appreciate it!! I love this website!!

peace,

Quick question. How does one keep up with which "Tone" a particular week is if you don't have a parish calendar??

A lot of prayer books provide a count of the Sundays after Pentecost with the repeating 8 tones.

How bout this...
