Sanctifying Sunday

(For the Homilies Archive, click here.)

One of the main goals of this website is to help you improve your prayer life. What better way than to try to do a little more on Sunday.

Homilies

Perhaps the best way to get more out of Sunday is to let the Readings for the Mass have more of an effect on your soul. If you look at our Homilies on the Sunday Mass Reading, you will find that they are written in such a way to help you begin to do your own Lectio Divina on the readings.

Mass Readings

On this website, you can find the Mass Readings to accompany the Homilies. At the bottom of each page, you will be able to download the readings so you can print them up in your own home.

Liturgy of the Hours

You can help make your whole Sunday more liturgical by praying the Divine Office, known nowdays as the Liturgy of the Hours. To help you do this, we try to provide these prayers for you each week as a free download. Each week you will be able to find a free download of: Morning Prayer & Evening Prayer (Lauds & Vespers) and also Night Prayer & Office of Readings (Compline & Matins).

Please come back to ssjohn.org often. God willing, the website will continue to improve and be more of a help to you.
