Sunday, Holy Day, and Commemoration Lectionary

General Instructions

The public reading of Scripture in the liturgies of the Church is among the most important features of any act of worship. No one should be admitted to this high privilege who has not thoroughly prepared the passage to be read, so that the lesson can be read with clarity, authority and understanding. This lectionary provides a three-year cycle of four readings for each Sunday of the Christian Year. Year A begins with Advent Sunday in those years evenly divisible by 3. Thus, Advent 2019 begins a new cycle with Year A. Multiple sets of lessons are assigned for Christmas Day, Easter Day and All Saints’ Day. Also included are single sets of readings for all other Prayer Book Principal Feasts and Holy Days (Red-Letter Days), including Ash Wednesday and the days of Holy Week and Easter Week. Lessons for Ember Days, Rogation Days, National Days, and Commemorations (Black-Letter Days) are appointed as well. The number of readings on any Sunday or Holy Day may be lessened according to pastoral circumstance, provided the gospel is always read at Eucharist. The English Standard Version of the Scriptures is the normative text; however, the Psalms should be read or sung in a version intended for that purpose. The Bishop of the Diocese is to be consulted where a regular pattern of fewer than four lessons is adopted as the Sunday customary of a congregation, or when a pattern of alternate readings (a “sermon series”) is proposed. The rector of a congregation may direct that an appointed lesson be shortened or lengthened, provided the plain sense is retained. Feasts of Dedication, special observances customary in the local setting, or days of national or provincial mourning or celebration may employ lessons other than those regularly established for a given Sunday.
