Readings For Sundays & Solemnities Solemnities here means feasts of the Lord which do
not usually occur or never fall on a Sunday such as Christmas, Easter Tridium, Ascension, etc.)
There are 3 readings for Sundays & Solemnities 1. First Reading – taken from the Old Testament (except
during Easter when the 1st Reading is taken from Acts of Apostles or Apocalypse) 2. Second Reading – taken from the New Testament (Epistles/Letters, Acts of the Apostles, Apocalypse or Book of Revelations) 3. Gospel – The Life of Christ
 The First Reading is usually
related to the Gospel. It serves as background for Gospel readings (Principle of Correspondence).  The Second Reading is not related to the Gospel, only in rare cases. It is a sequential reading of a particular biblical book (semi-continuous reading). It is best to understand second reading as a descriptive of Christian life and worship
The Gospel (Third Reading) Gospel has 3-year cycle for Sundays
(A, B, C). In some instances, there are Gospels with no cycle (e.g. Christmas, Easter Sunday) Cycles:
A – Gospel of Matthew – Year 2002 B – Gospel of Mark – Year 2003 C – Gospel of Luke – Year 2004 Repeat the cycle A, B, C
John’s Gospel was used in the 3
cycles during Lent & Easter Seasons. Passages from the 6th Chapter of John are used during Cycle B because of the brevity of Mark’s Gospel (shortest Gospel)
