On the weekdays which follow, the numbered Proper which corresponds most closely to the date of Pentecost in that year is used. See page 158. Trinity Sunday 8 Genesis 1:1 2:4a or Canticle 2 or 13 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 Matthew 28:16-20 On the weekdays which follow, the numbered Proper which corresponds most closely to the date of Trinity Sunday in that year is used. The Season after Pentecost (Ordinary Time) This lectionary provides two patterns for the Old Testament reading during the Season after Pentecost, beginning with Proper 4. In one pattern, the Old Testament and Gospel readings are closely related each Sunday; in the other, the Old Testament is read in semi-continuous fashion throughout the season, and the readings are not paired with each Sunday Gospel. Congregations may choose each year whether to use the semi-continuous Old Testament readings or the readings that are related to the Gospel, using as well the psalm associated with their choice of Old Testament reading. They should remain with that pattern for the entire lectionary year and may make a different choice in another year.
