This site was created to support all those who need access to the lesson texts of the Episcopal (ECUSA) Eucharistic Lectionary.

The Sunday Lectionary is a three year cyclical lectionary. We are currently in Year B. The year which will begin with Advent in 2012 will be Year C. The year which ended at Advent 2011 was Year A.

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 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.

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.

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 information about the saints? James Kiefer's hagiographs are a good starting point.

Want to read the lessons in other translations? Bible Study Tools offers access to the King James, New King James, Revised Standard, New Revised Standard, New American Standard, New International and many other versions in various languages.

For those interested in chanting of Gospels, the Rev. William G. Gartig of Cincinnati has posted sheet music (in Gregorian, square note notation) of settings he has done using Gospel Tone I at his web site: www.nku.edu/~gartigw.
