Select a date and liturgy type to generate the official readings
Where the readings come from
Sunday and Eucharist readings are drawn from a built-in database of the full three-year Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) cycle, aligned with Forward Movement's selections — the same organization behind Forward Day by Day.
Daily Office readings (Morning & Evening Prayer) come from a built-in database of the BCP 1979 Daily Office Lectionary — the two-year cycle found on pages 936–995 of the Book of Common Prayer. This covers every day of the year, including all major feasts and holy days.
Nothing is guessed when it comes to which readings appear. Both lectionaries are stored locally as complete, verified databases. The app calculates the liturgical date, looks up the correct readings, and retrieves the full scripture text from the World English Bible (including the Apocrypha).
The only thing AI does is write the reflection questions and contextual notes — the discussion-starter content that makes this more than a list of readings. The AI never picks or changes which scriptures are shown.
