St Philip's Anglican Church, O'Connor: Readings

Calendar and readings for Sundays and festivals

Click on the link to read any of the texts, courtesy of Oremus.org, in the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, which is used at St. Philip's, or from the 1997 "Liturgical Psalter" used in A Prayer Book for Australia. and other prayer books world-wide.

The Lectionary

A Prayer Book for Australia (1995), includes a Sunday lectionary that follows the 1992 Revised Common Lectionary. This was prepared by the international and ecumenical Consultation on Common Texts and is used by many churches throughout the world.

A new booklet of An Australian Lectionary is published annually by Anglican Church of Australia. As well as readings for Sundays and Holy Days, it includes suggested Bible readings for daily Morning and Evening Prayer and for Holy Communion on weekdays.

In the Holy Communion service on Sundays and Holy Days:

the first reading is from the Old Testament (except in the Easter season when it is from the Book of Acts);
the Psalm follows next.
the second reading is from the New Testament—from an epistle or the Book of Revelation; and
the third reading is from the Gospels.

The lectionary uses a three-year cycle (Years A, B and C). In year A, the Gospel reading is usually from Matthew, in year B from Mark, and in year C, from Luke. The Gospel of John is used to supplement the other Gospels and provides most of the Gospel readings in the Easter Season. Year A began in Advent, December 2019.
