Lectionary for Sundays and Solemnities – Study Edition

Description

The revised Lectionary retains the majesty of the NRSV text, benefiting from the rigorous translation practices of current biblical scholarship. Original texts are rendered into contemporary English with increased fidelity. Skillfully edited and beautifully designed for ease of proclamation, every aspect of the new Lectionary contributes to the dignified proclamation of the Word.

• Readings are presented in a clear single-column format with distinct sense lines.
• Newly designed titles, references and instructions are printed in the traditional red, separating them from the proclaimed text.
• Specially selected matt paper reduces glare under harsh lighting conditions
• Larger, bolder elegant typeface facilitates legibility in low lighting

Clearly structured tables are easy to use and will facilitate preparation:

• Arrangement for the Second Reading on the Sundays of Ordinary Time
• Arrangement for the First Reading on the Weekdays of Ordinary Time
• Movable Dates (through to 2050)
• Readings (Biblical Order)
• Responsorial Psalms and Canticles
• Scripture references for each season of the liturgical year
