Using the Lectionary
The Revised Common Lectionary is a three-year cycle of weekly scripture readings to be read. The lectionary is built around the seasons of the Church Year, and includes four readings for each Sunday, as well as additional readings for major feast days.
During most of the year, the readings are: a reading from the Old Testament, a Psalm, a reading from the Epistles and a Gospel reading. During the season of Easter, the Old Testament reading is usually replaced with one from the Acts of the Apostles. The Old Testament readings are sometimes chosen from the Apocrypha.
The seasons of the Church Year reflect the life of Christ. Consequently, the Gospel readings for each Sunday provide the focus for that day. The other readings for a given day generally have a thematic relationship to the Gospel reading for that day, although this is not always the case.
The Gospel readings for each year come from one of the synoptic Gospels according to the following pattern:
