Today's Catholic Mass Readings

For latest Catholic News, please visit us at https://www.wiredcatholic.com This podcast contains today's mass readings from the US Catholic Conference of Bishops. The official USCCB podcast feed contains many future podcasts which requires you to scroll through a month's worth of podcasts to today's reading only. This feed only downloads the podcast of the day so today's reading will appear on top of the list. The script is based on the user's timezone so it will work globally. Please note that the USCCB podcasts are downloaded directly from the USCCB website - this feed's only purpose is ease of use and better organization in your podcast player while minimizing bandwidth by downloading only one podcast at a time. As a bonus, the show notes display the full bio of the Saint of the Day from CNA and provides a link to the full text of the readings. If you get the wrong day's podcast you can unsubscribe from this podcast and subscribe to one of the following based on whether you are the same day, or one day ahead or one day behind the timezone of the podcast server (based in United States): Next Day : https://www.wiredcatholic.com/todaysmassreadings+1.xml Same Day : https://www.wiredcatholic.com/todaysmassreadings+0.xml Previous Day: https://www.wiredcatholic.com/todaysmassreadings-1.xml Regular Autodetect Feed: https://www.wiredcatholic.com/todaysmassreadings.xml ************** Change Log/Feedback to Comments and Reviews: 2025-12-31 Script broke in November requiring rewrite to python.

I use the feed daily so I will usually know when it breaks but it takes me a couple of days to find the time to fix it. Keep in mind I do this in my spare time. It takes me several hours to fix these bugs. When this happens, until it is fixed please visit the USCCB site directly to get the mass podcast online at https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading. Or if you use Podcast Addict you can click transcript button from any previously working episode and that will open your browser to the correct USCCB page. Then click the forward arrow to advance to the cuurent day. This feed will usually be fixed within a couple of days. 2022-12-10 Fixed chapter Saint of Day Pics.
