The Daily Gospel: a reading that endures online
While politics and economics dominate the headlines, a corner of the Internet keeps the tradition of the daily Gospel reading alive. This Monday, July 20, the liturgy offers a passage from the prophet Micah and the Gospel of Luke, under the motto "I will show him the salvation of God". The first reading recounts the Lord's dispute with his people: "My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you?". A question that resonates in times of crisis of faith.
The Gospel of the day, according to the homily of Father Santiago Martín (Franciscans of Mary), insists that "no sign will be given to this generation except the sign of Jonah". A call to conversion without waiting for extraordinary signs. The community also calls for the Holy Rosary to be prayed at 22:00, and reminds that the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is ideally prayed at 15:00, the hour of Jesus's death.
The spread of this content on current affairs forums shows that, despite secularisation, the biblical message continues to find alternative channels. The question is whether this persistence responds to a genuine spiritual need or to the inertia of a ritual that refuses to disappear.
