Welcome to today's Liturgy of the Word according to the Catholic Church 3 year liturgy cycle as published in the 2012 Saint Paul Daily Missal. This page is updated regularly with a new subpage. To find the Word for a specific day, click above on the corresponding date or check the archives for that day. The actual liturgy text shown is taken from the New American Bible as published online by the Vatican at http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/_INDEX.HTM or http://www.usccb.org/bible/ as published on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website. My personal commentary for each day can be found on the subpage with the readings.
You can also see who the Saint of the Day is and read Daily Minute Meditations taken from The Franciscan Media website http://info.franciscanmedia.org/

The Descent of the Holy Spirit
Catechism of the Catholic Church
Paragraph 767 "When the work which the Father gave the Son to do on earth was accomplished, the Holy Spirit was sent on the day of Pentecost in order that he might continually sanctify the Church."174 Then "the Church was openly displayed to the crowds and the spread of the Gospel among the nations, through preaching, was begun."175 As the "convocation" of all men for salvation, the Church in her very nature is missionary, sent by Christ to all the nations to make disciples of them.176
The Holy Spirit came to Mary and the Apostles as tongues of fire.
