The feed
Shuffled, the canon deals itself one verse at a time while a thin gold line keeps time; hold the screen and it waits. In order, you read straight through from Genesis to Revelation, with a page between chapters and a map of every chapter you’ve read.
Comments
Quotations from saints and Church Fathers under every verse, each naming its source or saying plainly that none confirms it, plus Bishop Challoner’s notes and Catechism links where they exist. Every comment is free.
St. John Chrysostom · 4th c.
Do you wish to honor the body of Christ? Do not ignore Him when He is naked. Do not pay Him homage in the temple clad in silk only then to neglect Him outside where He suffers cold and nakedness.
Homily on Matthew, 50
St. John of the Cross · 16th c.
In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone.
Sayings of Light and Love, 57
St. Vincent de Paul · 17th c.
The poor are your masters and you are their servants.
Conferences to the Daughters of Charity
Study
Context from Bishop Challoner’s chapter summaries and an introduction to each book; the Hebrew or Greek behind 92.9% of the protocanonical verses, or the Latin; and what the verse asks of you today.
Today
The liturgical season and color, the celebration, the US Mass reading citations and the saint of the day, through December 31, 2028.
Discover
Each card joins a verse to a theme: what it meant in its time, what a saint said, one way to live it. Dealt from 1,000 — two a day in full for free, all twelve with Premium.
Peace
Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you.
Matthew 11:28
