Revised Common Lectionary

About this app

Open the app and today's readings are simply there: the psalm, the Old Testament and epistle readings, and the gospel, ready to read in full. No account, no ads, no cost.

READ YOUR WAY
• More than thirty translations, including the NRSV, ESV, NIV, NLT, CSB, CEB, NET, The Message, and classics like the RSV and KJV
• Read verse by verse or in flowing paragraphs, in serif, sans-serif, or dyslexia-friendly type at five sizes, with line-spacing and bold-text options
• Listen as well as read — the app can read any passage aloud with your device's voice, at the speed you choose
• Two modes: Weekly or Daily
• Tap any verse to compare it across translations side by side
• Section headings, psalm titles, and tappable footnotes where the translation provides them
• Show the verses around a passage, or the verses the lectionary skips — context is one tap away

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
• The whole app speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese — every screen and setting, the church calendar with its seasons and feasts, and Bible references
• It follows your device language automatically, and carries a Bible translation in each of these languages too

THE CHURCH YEAR, VISIBLE
• Each week opens with a work of sacred art from the Vanderbilt Divinity Library's Art in the Christian Tradition collection — tap it for a full-screen, zoomable view
• A calendar view painted in the liturgical colors — Advent violet, Christmas gold, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time at a glance
• The app's accent color quietly follows the season you're reading (or pin your favorite)
• Light and dark themes built around a midnight indigo, with a true-black option that's easy on OLED screens

ALWAYS READY
• Readings are cached after the first fetch, so recent passages work offline
• Your settings are included in your device backup, so they survive a reinstall
• Open any passage in Bible Gateway, YouVersion, Logos, Bible Hub, STEP Bible, Blue Letter Bible, or the NET Bible with translator's notes

MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN
• On tablets and foldables the week, the day, and the reading sit side by side — and on a foldable the layout follows the fold
• Resizable windows on tablets, Chromebooks, and desktop displays: the app rearranges itself as you resize
• A hardware keyboard gets a full set of shortcuts and a visible focus ring; a mouse or trackpad gets hover, scrolling, and right-click
• Home-screen widgets for the week's artwork, the day and season, a Scripture passage, and the day's readings

ACCESSIBILITY
Made to be read by everyone — with full TalkBack support, system font scaling, read-aloud, dyslexia-friendly type, and carefully checked color contrast throughout.
----
Made with love for the Gators small group at Ecclesia Clear Lake, and for everyone who prays with the church through the lectionary year.

What’s new

A new way around: the navigation bar is gone. Days and passages move with floating toolbars in the season's color, with Listen and Jump to current beside them. Settings is the gear at the top, the calendar and week list open as sheets, and translations open in a list with search. Everything moves with Material's motion: the mini player grows from Play, verses slide open, and as you read down a passage the top bar slides away. Tablets get larger text, and the artwork shows the whole painting.
