Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.
The citations are printed as the US Lectionary gives them, so the Psalms carry their Hebrew numbers; the links open the chapter in the CPDV, where the Psalms follow the Vulgate numbering. Each day’s own page prints the New Testament readings in the CPDV; Bless shows the full text of every reading in the app.

Saint of the day
Bishop · Remembered on October 29
Bishop of Jerusalem said to have been over a hundred when he died — slandered in old age by perjurers, he withdrew to the desert until the truth outed, then returned to his see and served on with a coadjutor.
