Genesis 9:1–11:32 — The Bow Hung Up, the Tower Pulled Down
Noe steps off the ark onto a drowned world. God blesses him with the words He once gave Adam — "Increase and multiply, and fill the earth" (Gen 9:1) — and then does something the world has never seen.

Genesis 12-14 — Go Forth: The Call of Abram and the Priest With Bread and Wine

Psalm 6 (DRB numbering; Ps 6 in modern English Bibles) — Rebuke Me Not in Thy Indignation: The First of the Seven Penitential Psalms

Day numbers here follow The Procession. The Scriptorium ships a second plan, and the same day number carries different chapters there — the app always shows the day of the plan you are actually walking.
How the day works
The Scripture itself is free every day of the year. Where the commentary has been written it comes at three depths. The Read is ninety seconds and free — finishing there counts as finishing the day, with no asterisk. The Study and Ad Fontes go to the context, the Fathers, and the sources in full, inside the Brotherhood Pass at $8.99 a month. The answer to every objection stays free, always.
