If you've read my introductory post on the lectionary, you'll know there are Bible passages set for Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and the Eucharist for every day of the week. The readings for the Eucharist are a bit shorter than the Morning and Evening Prayer readings, and they always contain a short reading from one of the four Gospels. When people talk about "the day's Gospel reading" it's this that they're talking about.
Some people like to reflect every day on a short passage from one of the Gospels. And some people like to do Lectio Divina with the day's Gospel passage.
Here are three websites that help us reflect on the day's Gospel reading:
This one, called "Pray as You Go" is a podcast you can download. It gives you a 15min reflection on one of the readings set for the Eucharist that day - 95% of the time it's the Gospel passage. They read the passage out twice and give you a few questions about the passage to contemplate. It's a bit like a form of Lectio Divina that you can engage with while you're driving or eating lunch or whatever you're doing: http://www.pray-as-you-go.org/home/
This website is ideal for people on a break at work and sat at a computer. It leads you through a mini Examen and short reflection on the day's Gospel reading. Rather than being a podcast, it's a kind of prayer slideshow that you go through at your own pace: http://www.sacredspace.ie/daily-prayer
This third website is great if you want to do Lectio Divina with the day's Gospel passage. It gives you some background context or commentary on the passage, and once you've read the Gospel passage it gives you some questions to help you reflect on it: http://ocarm.org/en/lectio-divina
