Forty days. Lent runs 46 days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday. Leave out its six Sundays and 40 remain, so the plan reads on Monday to Saturday.
All four Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, 89 chapters, about two chapters or 94 verses a day. John's last chapters, the cross and the empty tomb, fall in Holy Week.

Ash Wednesday is February 10, 2027, and Easter Sunday is March 28, 2027. Lent ends on Holy Saturday, March 27.

The 40 days of Lent are counted without its Sundays. To read on Sundays too, tick Sunday under Reading days; the plan becomes 46 shorter readings.

Change the order to the Gospel of John: 21 chapters over 40 days, about 22 verses a day. Or pick the Gospel of Luke, 24 chapters.

Yes. Set the start to that year's Ash Wednesday and the end to the day before Easter.

Each one opens the maker set up for that plan. Change anything once it is open.
