Lecturas del día
 
The USCCB website has the daily readings,  las lecturas del día en español.
 
 
Mary, Mother of the Church
As you may have heard, Pope Francis has added a Memorial for " The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church" to the General Roman Calendar. It will be celebrated each year on the Monday after Pentecost. This year that will fall on Monday, May 21.

The USCCB Secretariat for Divine Worship has information about the readings and prayers for Mass on their website. It also provides information about the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours on this new Memorial.

The new Memorial supersedes the rubric at the end of the Pentecost Mass that suggests that a Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit be celebrated on the Monday after Pentecost.

Please note that the readings will be proper to the day, not optional. They are slightly different than what is in the Lectionary for Mass (#1002-I). On the USCCB website, the Secretariat has also produced a PDF of the readings.
