What are the Psalms of the Day? Are they from the Mass or the Liturgy of the Hours?
The daily Psalm posted at www.usccb.org/nab/ are not related to the Mass or the Liturgy of the Hours. The 150 Psalms were divided into a twenty-six week schedule that is repeated twice a year. The Psalms are posted in number order and no effort is made to link a particular Psalm with the observance of that day. At present, this site is unable to post the daily readings in Spanish due to copyright considerations. This site posts only the reading listed in the official Liturgical Calendar for the United States. However, the priest celebrating a Mass may have many other choices for readings, including the readings for a saint’s feast day, a Mass in honor of the Blessed Virgin, or a votive Mass. The citations for the readings through the end of 2010 are given in the Liturgical Calendar for the United States. You can use the citations to look up the text in a Bible, missal, or Lectionary. The calendar for the upcoming year is usually posted in the autumn. Please see our permissions policy h
