Daily Readings Overview
The Daily Readings is a part of the Holy Bible Project, a software that is designed to promote daily access to the word of God.
The Daily Readings gives you access to a set of bible readings for each day of the year. It includes the First Reading, Second Reading (depending on the day) and Gospel Reading, with verses taken from the bible of your choice. The daily reading cycles are based on the Catholic universal liturgical calendar.
In the current version, the Daily Readings covers the complete liturgical years from 2004 to 2010. The current choices for scriptural text sources are Douay-Rheims Bible, King James Version and American Standard Bible. Other bible references may hopefully be available for download in this website in the future.
