About Daily Scripture Commentary
The Sacred Space Commentary is a feature of Sacred Space where you can find commentaries on the daily scripture readings. These were written by the late Frank Doyle SJ unless other contributors are credited. (About Frank Doyle)
Using the Commentary
You can access the current commentaries by using the calendar on the Commentary homepage. There you can select readings from the coming days – with a few days in the past allowed for too.
Please note that the calendar may differ from region to region and cannot take account of all the regional variations.
In general, the following commentaries are provided:
- Sundays: one commentary on all readings.
- Weekdays: separate commentaries on the first readings and gospel texts.
- Saints: separate commentaries on the saint and on the assigned readings.
