About

Weekly reflections on the Sunday Gospel reading, following the Catholic Lectionary's three-year cycle (Year A: Matthew, Year B: Mark, Year C: Luke, with John woven throughout). Each entry provides historical context, theological commentary, and practical application for daily life.

Current Liturgical Year

The three-year cycle ensures Catholics hear the vast majority of the four Gospels at Sunday Mass. John appears in all three years during Lent, Easter, and key feasts.
