Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know about My Daily Bread.

About the Content

How are devotionals written?

We use AI as a tool in our devotional creation process, similar to how a publisher uses editing software or a church uses a sound system. The content itself is grounded in:

  • The daily Mass readings from the Vatican's lectionary
  • The Catholic Public Domain Version of Scripture
  • Hundreds of curated context entries on biblical figures, places, themes, and prayers, each grounded in Scripture and Catholic tradition
  • Strict theological guardrails aligned with Church teaching

AI helps us deliver a fresh, substantive reflection every single day, something that would otherwise require a large editorial team. But the theology isn't generated; it's drawn from 2,000 years of tradition.

What Bible translation do you use?

We use the Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV), a faithful English translation of the Latin Vulgate that includes all 73 books of the Catholic Bible. It is fully public domain, meaning we can present the complete Scripture text without licensing restrictions.

Is this app only for Catholics?

No. My Daily Bread is rooted in Catholic tradition -- it follows the Catholic lectionary and draws from 2,000 years of Church teaching -- but it's built for any Christian who wants to encounter God's Word in a deeper, more personal way. What matters most is the daily encounter with Scripture, not denominational boundaries.
