You have the bible in your hands. With the help of this perpetual liturgical cal-
endar you will be able to use this bible as a Missal.
The Sunday Readings are in three cycles: A, B, C. Sundays also have three
readings: the first reading is from the Old Testament, the second is ordinarily from
one of the Epistles or Letters of the New Testament. In the three-year cycle almost
all the Letters are read. The third reading is the Gospel. There is an “Evangelist
of the Year”—Matthew is read on cycle A, Mark on cycle B, and Luke on cycle
C. The gospel of John comes at various times in each liturgical year: on Advent
and Lent Sundays and in some readings of cycle B year.
Weekly Masses have two readings: the first from the Old or New Testament and
the Gospel. The first reading during ordinary weeks of the year (see chart below)
is arranged in a two-year cycle. Series “I” is for the odd years (2011, 2013, 2015,
etc.) and series “II” is for even years (2012, 2014, 2016, etc.).
The readings for weekdays are arranged semi-continuously or thematically de-
pending on the presence of a theme for a particular season.

Remember that this first part of Ordinary time ends with Ash Wednesday. Some
years it will still be in the 5th week; other years it will be in the 9th week. Anyway,
Lenten time begins with Ash Wednesday.
In the ordinary, weekdays are distributed on a cycle of two years, year I and year
II, which are in fact odd and even years. The year 2011 is I, 2012 is II.
Sundays, instead, are distributed on a cycle of three years: year A, year B, year C.
Years 2011, 2014, 2017, 2020, … are A.
This second part of Ordinary time begins with Pentecost and ends with the 1st
Sunday of Advent. Depending on the date of Easter, this second part can begin earlier
or later. When it begins with the 7th or 8th week, you find these weeks at the end of
the First part of Ordinary Time before the Lenten time.
