1 and track 2 during the long green season after pentecost there are two tracks or strands each week for old testament readings within each track there is a psalm chosen to accompany the particular lesson the revised common lectionary allows us to make use of either of these tracks but once a track has been selected it should be followed through to the end of the pentecost season rather than jumping back and forth between the two strands the first track of old testament readings track 1 follows major stories and themes read mostly continuously from week to week in year a we begin with genesis in year b we hear some of the great monarchy narratives and in year c we read from the later prophets a second track of readings track 2 follows the roman catholic tradition of thematically pairing the old testament reading with the gospel reading often typologically a sort of foretelling of jesus christ s life and ministry if you will this second track is almost identical to our previous book of common prayer lectionary within each track there may be additional readings complementary to the standard reading these may be used with the standard reading or in place of it credit to the rev dr j barrington bates a note about weekday observances in 2024 meeting in louisville kentucky the general convention approved a new lectionary for the commemorations previously approved in lesser feasts and fasts 2022 for every commemoration a fourth reading has been added to the propers and many other changes were made to the existing readings additionally five new commemorations were approved for trial use and seven commemorations were given new dates of observance the new observances have been added the date changes made and the lection changes have been made with the approval in 2022 of a new edition of lff both holy women holy men and a great cloud of witnesses were superceded and should be set aside you may access the lesser commemorations by date through the index by month to lesser feasts and fasts or by name with the alphabetical index to lesser feasts and fasts t he lessons appointed for the following special services are now available holy baptism marriage burial

created to support all those who need access to the lesson texts of the episcopal tec eucharistic lectionary the sunday lectionary is a three year cyclical lectionary we are currently in year a beginning with the first sunday of advent in 2026 we will be in year b the year which ended at advent 2025 was year c the bible translation used is the new revised standard version copyright 1989 by the division of christian education of the national council of the churches of christ in the usa and used by permission the readings have been emended to provide context and clarity for public reading in conformance with the rubrics of the book of common prayer the collects and the psalms are from the book of common prayer the collects use the contemporary wording the liturgical color appropriate for the day is indicated when the color is green red or purple by the color of the numeral against a light grey background when the liturgical color is white the numeral is black against a white background on weekdays other than major holy days the color indicated is the color appropriate to the season when celebrating the feast of a martyred saint scarlet is also appropriate i am always interested in ways to make this site more useful to you your feedback is appreciated and please let me know as soon as possible if you catch an error in this material liturgical calendar available for ical google calendar etc a number of people have asked for a liturgical calendar formatted for ical google calendar or any other program that uses the icalendar format i have prepared such a calendar accurate through 2026 you can subscribe to it through your calendar program using this url http www lectionarypage net resources liturgicalcalendar ics alternatively using the same url you may download the calendar file by pasting the url in the destination window of your web browser and hitting the go button for most browsers on most computers this will result in that file being downloaded and stored in your downloads folder you can then import it into your calendar program what is the difference you cannot alter a calendar to which you are subscribed but you can alter a calendar imported from a file on your computer the downside if there is one is that corrections made to the original file that is my file will not be replicated on your computer your choice please let me know as soon as possible about errors omissions or anything else that lessens the usability of this intentionally simple calendar other helpful resources the revised common lectionary daily readings are now available online at dailylectio net this three year cycle of daily scripture readings follows and augments the rcl sunday lections note that these readings are keyed to the generic rcl not the rcl as modified for episcopal worship the readings for thursday through saturday prepare for the sunday lessons while the monday through wednesday readings reflect on the sunday lessons to be clear these are not the daily office readings from the book of common prayer a sermon for every sunday offers lectionary based video sermons from a group of accomplished preachers the sermons are offered for use in worship bible study small groups sunday school classes or for individual use a wonderful lectionary based collection of commentaries exegesis articles art and music suggestions can be found at textweek sometimes the question is not what we read on a given date but when do we read a certain lesson the reverse lectionary can answer that question i am often asked where one can find the daily lectionary a two year cycle online a number of pronunciation guides are available online the biblical words pronunciation guide from net ministries offers phonetic spelling as well as audible guidance the sunday lectionary in spanish can be found at st mark s press leccionario domenical the book of common prayer in both the current and the historical versions can be found online looking for more
