Five days to go! – The Lectionary
Every day in our Ora et Labora journal we include the daily readings from the Revised Common Lectionary.
A ‘lectionary’ is simply a collection of readings from the Scriptures, arranged and intended for proclamation during the worship of the people of God.
The Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) which we use in our journal is a three-year cycle of readings used by churches around the world. The RCL is built around the seasons of the Church year, and includes four readings for each Sunday, as well as additional readings for major feast days.
During most of the year, the readings are: a reading from the Old Testament, a Psalm, a reading from the Epistles, and a Gospel reading.
To be able to read along with fellow believers around the world is a wonderful gift and I hope that having these readings as part of your journalling process will be helpful to you.
