Commentary: From the church bulletin:
The Virgin of Guadalupe is considered the Patroness of Mexico & the Continental Americas. The Blessed Virgin Mary, under this title is popularly invoked as "Patroness of the Unborn" & a common image for the Pro-Life Movement.Scripture of the Day
Personal Reading
The Acts of the Apostles, chapter seventeen.
Daily Mass Readings
The Book of Zechariah, chapter two, verses fourteen through seventeen;
or, The Book of Revelation, chapter eleven, verse nineteen(a); chapter twelve, verses one through six & ten(ab);
The Book of Judith, chapter thirteen;
The Gospel according to Luke, chapter one, verses twenty-six through thirty-eight;
or, The Gospel according to Luke, chapter one, verses thirty-nine through forty-seven.
Commentary: I have no idea what's going on with today's daily Mass readings. Options? No responsorial Psalm? Luke, 1:26-38 was the Gospel reading for Monday, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I suppose celebrating two Marian feasts so close together produces overlap, if not confusion.
At this morning's Mass, Zechariah was read, as well as a Psalm. I still do not know what prompted the confusion in the bulletin.

After our discussion this morning, I was wondering if you have ever read "The Bad Catholic’s Guide to Good Living" By: Zmirak & Matychowiak, as it is a look at all the weird holidays and traditions in the Church. I have a copy of it if you ever want to look at it. Also, although the series is the "The Bad Catholic's Guide. . ." I found out about it from Ava Maria Radio.
Nope, this is the first I've ever head of any Bad Catholic's Guide…. I'd be more than happy to take a gander at it.
