we will all be celebrating the ascension in a few days time the event is a joyful feast for us who know what it led to but it must have been grim for the disciples who knew that they they would never again see jesus on earth who was this mysterious promised advocate god preserves our freedom by not telling us exactly what he has in store for us and god can always be trusted nevertheless it is hard for people who find themselves in a situation where like the disciples after ascension and before pentecost they can do nothing but pray and wait let us remember them in our own prayers read the rest of this entry posted in newsletters tagged universalis comments off on may 2026 newsletter how optional memorials work posted by universalis on 2 may 2026 someone wrote to me the other day asking why did the priest use different readings from the ones in universalis this was not a terribly helpful question because i wasn t in the church to hear what the priest was reading and i wasn t looking at the person s screen to see what universalis was displaying nevertheless the email was sent on friday 1 may 2026 and as i was guessing my way through everything i hadn t been told trying to compose a meaningful answer i thought it would be worth writing it all up for future reference so here we go example 1 may 2026 the priest today has a choice st joseph the worker is an optional memorial which means he can choose the mass for friday of the 4th week in eastertide or he can choose the mass for st joseph the worker friday of the 4th week in eastertide first reading acts 13 26 33 gospel john 14 1 6 in favour of choosing this is the fact that the readings on weekdays in eastertide form a sequence the first readings are telling the stories of the first steps of the infant church while the gospel is giving the great discourses at the core of st john s gospel saint joseph the worker in favour of choosing this is the fact that saint joseph the worker is an important feast closely connected with the social teaching of the church which is too little known and too little listened to if he chooses st joseph the worker the priest now has a further choice the lectionary offers a set of readings for st joseph the worker but also says that these should not be used unless pastoral considerations require it deciding to use the readings for st joseph first reading genesis 1 26 2 3 or colossians 3 14 15 17 23 24 gospel matthew 13 54 58 deciding not to use the readings for st joseph first reading acts 13 26 33 gospel matthew 13 54 58 you may find it strange that if the priest is celebrating st joseph but doesn t have a reason to use the special readings for st joseph he is still required to use the gospel from st matthew and not from st john this is because on a very few exceptional days in the year the gospel is what is called proper to the feast which means it must be used no matter what this happens when the saint being celebrated is actually mentioned in that reading as st joseph is implicitly today very occasionally indeed the proper reading is the first reading rather than the gospel all in all then there are three conceivable first readings on friday 1 may 2026 and two conceivable gospels how to do it in universalis first choose the feast to celebrate at the top of the readings at mass page the heading will say one of two things friday of the 4th week of eastertide or saint joseph the worker or saint joseph the worker or friday of the 4th week of eastertide in the right hand margin you will see a menu button in the mobile apps this is a stack of red lines in the mac and windows programs it is a blue arrow either way you can use the menu button to choose between the friday and the memorial of st joseph next choose which readings to use if you have chosen the friday you do not need to do anything if you have chosen st joseph there will be a heading just above the first reading which says either readings for the memorial or readings for the feria friday in the right hand margin you will see a menu button you can use the button to choose the set of readings you want posted in calendars comments off on how optional memorials work april

universalis comments off on february 2026 newsletter the epiphany this year posted by universalis on 1 january 2026 some parts of the world celebrate the epiphany on 6 january others celebrate it on a sunday this causes a lot of confusion where the readings after the epiphany are concerned because which reading you get depends on where you are this universalis page gives a table of the readings for each day in this season according to both the 6 january and the sunday calendar this should help you to un confuse yourself the universalis apps and programs can all be set to your local calendar so

welcome back to advent glory is on the way the liturgy is full of the prophecies of isaiah which were first given for consolation to the jews 2 700 years ago the same sort of time as the legendary foundation of the city of rome they were fulfilled once over in the first century bc when the son of god became man as the baby jesus and still those prophecies speak to us of the second coming of christ read the rest of this entry posted in newsletters tagged universalis comments off on december 2025 newsletter giving universalis for christmas posted by universalis on 5 december 2025 at this time of year we are all thinking of presents we can give sometimes to people who are far away why not give universalis for older people who perhaps can t get out much universalis can help maintain contact with the prayer life of the universal church or if you have a younger friend with all the distractions of life around and ahead universalis is a solid preparation and continuing foundation for an apostle for life even for people who never take their noses out of the shiny black rectangles in front of them they will see through the device for once into a wider world indeed an infinite one
