From today until November 5, 2005, the daily liturgy will be proposing the letter to the Romans as the first reading. Below is the outline of the letter and the days when one can expect individual sections to be read. The outline is based on the one provided by the New American Bible, and the links to the texts will bring one to the NIV (Note: This is a limitation of this site). The lectio cursiva will be broken in those days when there is a feast with its own set of readings, as in the case of All Souls' and All Saints' Day. Individual sections of the Letter to the Romans will be treated in a separate blog.
