2 What Are Lectionaries? Lists of readings for Sundays, feast days and daily office Earliest example 4 th century (Athanasius) Multiple versions, but general agreement on major feast days (Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Pentecost, Holy Week) Collation but some regional differences remain through Trent (1560s)

3 Common Lectionaries Trent completes regularization of lectionaries for the West (1560s) Cranmer develops lectionary for England, and other reformers for their faithful By 17 th century Rome + multiple Protestant versions, with agreements on many holy days 1960s Vatican II and the Common Texts/Common Lectionary projects -- Consultation on Common Texts

4 Why a Revised Common Lectionary Common Lectionary published 1983 for trial use. With feedback from 2 cycles of use, CCT sought To expand the amount and scope of the Bible covered in three years Amount lengthened readings, added coverage of books Scope more stories about women, the poor, and the outcast than any before To provide for both complementary and semi-continuous readings To reflect historic lectionary traditions better

5 The Sunday Texts First Lesson: OT or Acts (Easter Season) Psalm: As a response to the first lesson Epistle Gospel one per year with John interspersed

6 Distribution of the Scriptures Year A Year B Year C Festival Seasons Matthew Mark Luke John (John 6) Patriarchs and Moses David Elijah-Elisha and Exilic prophets Prophets 1&2 Cor, Romans, Phil., I Thess. 1&2 Cor, Romans, Ephesians, James, Heb. 1 Cor, Gal., Col., Heb., Phm, I&2 Tim 2 Thess I Peter, Johannine, Revelation

8 The Season after Pentecost: Choose ONE stream or switch streams (For example: Year A) Semi-Continuous Gospel Matthew Epistle Old Testament I&2 Cor, Rom, Phil, I Thess Patriarchs and Moses

9 Two Major Cycles and Ordinary Time Advent-Christmas Cycle Lent-Easter Cycle Advent: Beginning with the end Christmas Season: The Mystery of Incarnation Lent: Learning to Live the Way (Catechesis) Easter Season: The Mystery of Resurrection (Mystagogy and Ministry Formation) Ordinary Time After Epiphany: Training the midwives After Pentecost: Supporting the ministers Numbering system to locate propers anchored to culmination of previous season

10 Scripture Focus in Christian Year Advent The second coming of Christ Christmas Season God becoming flesh and dwelling among us After Epiphany Early ministry of Jesus Lent Preparing for baptism Holy Week Last days of Jesus Easter Season Seven weeks of mystagogy celebrating resurrection and Spirit (doctrinal training, ministry discernment) After Pentecost Teaching/Ministry of Jesus, life as Church, Patriarchs/Kings/Prophets 10

11 Major Feast Days in Ordinary Time Baptism of the Lord Transfiguration Trinity All Saints Christ the King/Reign of Christ All texts relate to each other Primary focus on the gospel, OT and Epistle complementary as during major festal cycles
