THE CATHOLIC LECTIONARY WEBSITE

Calendar of Lectionary Cycles and Movable Liturgical Feasts (1969 – 2100)

*Pre-Note: Since the length of the Advent Season varies (between three and four weeks, depending on which weekday Christmas falls), but in order to ensure that the readings for the 34th Week in Ordinary Time are read at the very end of each liturgical year, one entire week of Ordinary Time is often (but not always) omitted after the Easter Season.

For example, if the Monday and Tuesday just before Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent) belong to the 8th week of Ordinary Time (as in 2022, 2025, and 2028), then after Pentecost we continue with the 9th week of O.T. in some years (as in 2028), but skip to the 10th week of O.T. in most years (as in 2022 and 2025).

Past Years:

The Ordo Lectionum Missae was first approved by Pope Paul VI in his apostolic constitution, Missale Romanum, on April 3, 1969. The Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship directed that it be used beginning on November 30, 1969, the First Sunday of Advent for the 1970 liturgical year. Thus, while the tables published in the Lectionary itself begin with 1969, the first set of readings actually used was Cycle B (Sundays) and Year II (weekdays).
