The readings from other than Exodus are next Sunday's Mass readings. My habit for the past year has been to read these on Saturday morning, during my 3:00-4:30 A.M. shift in the Adoration chapel. Tomorrow, I am bound for the county gaol (the archaic spelling I prefer to "jail") with a few other parishioners, to live out the corporal work of mercy to visit the imprisoned (historically, to ransom the captives). I was advised to read the following Sunday's readings in preparation for discussing them with the imprisoned. I feel called to do this, but until I've experienced it for myself I cannot say if this will become a regular part of my schedule.
