The font used is the same Sabon font used in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, with the exception that I do not have the Old Style Figures used in the original BCP; thus all numbers will appear somewhat different.

P. O. Box 227 East Bridgewater, Mass. USA Charles Wohlers chadwohl@satucket.com While the Book of Common Prayer is typically printed approximately on half-pages (5.5 X 8.5"), this is not a common page size for word processors, so you will find it here done on 8.5 X 11" landscape, two columns. Thus two pages in the BCP becomes one page in this document. You may redistribute this document electronically provided no fee is charged and this header remains part of the document.

2 The Lectionary

3 Concerning the Lectionary The Lectionary The Lectionary for Sundays is arranged in a three-year cycle, in which Year A always begins on the First Sunday of Advent in years evenly divisible by three. (For example, 1977 divided by 3 is 659 with no remainder. Year A, therefore, begins on Advent Sunday of that year.) The Psalms and s appointed for the Sundays and for other major Holy Days are intended for use at all public services on such days, except when the same congregation attends two or more services. Thus, the same s are to be read at the principal morning service, whether the Liturgy of the Word takes the form given in the Holy Eucharist, or that of the Daily Office. When the same congregation is present for Morning or Evening Prayer, in addition to the Eucharist, the s at the Office may be selected from one of the other years of the three-year Sunday cycle, or from the Lectionary for the Daily Office. The Psalms at such Offices are normally those appointed in the Office Lectionary; but, when desired, the Psalm cited in the selected Sunday Proper may be used instead. In this Lectionary, the selections from the Psalter are frequently cited in a longer and shorter version, usually from the same Psalm. The longer version is particularly appropriate for use at the Office, the shorter version when the Psalm is sung between the s at the Eucharist. The selections may be further lengthened or shortened at discretion. When an alternative is cited, it is sometimes identical with a appointed for the same day in the Daily Office Lectionary. In the opening verses of s, the Reader should omit initial conjunctions which refer only to what has preceded, substitute nouns for pronouns when the referent is not otherwise clear, or else prefix to the Reading some such introduction as, N. said (to N.). Any Reading may be lengthened at discretion. Suggested lengthenings are shown in parentheses.

25 Daily Office Lectionary

26 Concerning the Daily Office Lectionary The Daily Office Lectionary is arranged in a two-year cycle. Year One begins on the First Sunday of Advent preceding odd-numbered years, and Year Two begins on the First Sunday of Advent preceding even-numbered years. (Thus, on the First Sunday of Advent, 1976, the Lectionary for Year One is begun.) Three Readings are provided for each Sunday and weekday in each of the two years. Two of the Readings may be used in the morning and one in the evening; or, if the Office is read only once in the day, all three Readings may be used. When the Office is read twice in the day, it is suggested that the Gospel Reading be used in the evening in Year One, and in the morning in Year Two. If two Readings are desired at both Offices, the Old Testament Reading for the alternate year is used as the First Reading at Evening Prayer. When more than one Reading is used at an Office, the first is always from the Old Testament (or the Apocrypha). When a Major Feast interrupts the sequence of Readings, they may be re-ordered by lengthening, combining, or omitting some of them, to secure continuity or avoid repetition. Any Reading may be lengthened at discretion. Suggested lengthenings are shown in parentheses. In this Lectionary (except in the weeks from 4 Advent to 1 Epiphany, and Palm Sunday to 2 Easter), the Psalms are arranged in a seven-week pattern which recurs throughout the year, except for appropriate variations in Lent and Easter Season. In the citation of the Psalms, those for the morning are given first, and then those for the evening. At the discretion of the officiant, however, any of the Psalms appointed for a given day may be used in the morning or in the evening. Likewise, Psalms appointed for any day may be used on any other day in the same week, except on major Holy Days. Brackets and parentheses are used (brackets in the case of whole Psalms, parentheses in the case of verses) to indicate Psalms and verses of Psalms which may be omitted. In some instances, the entire portion of the Psalter assigned to a given Office has been bracketed, and alternative Psalmody provided. Those who desire to recite the Psalter in its entirety should, in each instance, use the bracketed Psalms rather than the alternatives. Antiphons drawn from the Psalms themselves, or from the opening sentences given in the Offices, or from other passages of Scripture, may be used with the Psalms and biblical Canticles. The antiphons may be sung or said at the beginning and end of each Psalm or Canticle, or may be used as refrains after each verse or group of verses. On Special Occasions, the officiant may select suitable Psalms and Readings.
