The Divine Lamp

Please note that in addition to posting notes on the daily readings in the Ordinary Form (current Lectionary), I have also begun posting notes on the daily readings in the Extraordinary Form (pre-Vatican II Lectionary). Also, I’ve begun to include links to the pre-Vatican II missal and office. The missal page changes daily so if you want to view a previous or future missal page (e.g., for next Sunday’s Mass), you’ll have to change the date manually once you’re on the site. This can be done by typing in the desired date in the site’s date box and pressing the enter key on your computer, or, use the blue arrows next to the date box and then press the square box between them to see the page.
