Readings

For Sundays & Solemnities Solemnities here means feasts of the Lord

which do not usually occur or never fall on a Sunday such as Christmas, Easter Tridium, Ascension, etc.)

There are 3 readings for Sundays & Solemnities1.First Reading – taken from the Old Testament

(except during Easter when the 1st Reading is taken from Acts of Apostles or Apocalypse)

2.Second Reading – taken from the New Testament (Epistles/Letters, Acts of the Apostles, Apocalypse or Book of Revelations)

3.Gospel – The Life of Christ

The First Reading is usually related to the Gospel. It serves as background for Gospel readings (Principle of Correspondence).

The Second Reading is not related to the Gospel, only in rare cases. It is a sequential reading of a particular biblical book (semi-continuous reading). It is best to understand second reading as a descriptive of Christian life and worship

The Gospel (Third Reading) Gospel has 3-year cycle for

Sundays (A, B, C). In some instances, there are Gospels with no cycle (e.g. Christmas, Easter Sunday) Cycles:

A – Gospel of Matthew – Year 2002 B – Gospel of Mark – Year 2003 C – Gospel of Luke – Year 2004 Repeat the cycle A, B, C

John’s Gospel was used in the 3 cycles during Lent & Easter Seasons. Passages from the 6th Chapter of John are used during Cycle B because of the brevity of Mark’s Gospel (shortest Gospel)
