The Book of Common Prayer,Formatted as the original
This document was created from a text filereformatted in WordPerfect for Windows v. 8and then converted to Adobe Acrobat (PDF)format using the Adobe Postscript printerdriver and Adobe Distiller. The font used isthe same Sabon font used in the 1979 Book ofCommon Prayer, with the exception that I donot have the “Old Style Figures” used in theoriginal BCP; thus all numbers will appearsomewhat different.While the Book of Common Prayer is typicallyprinted approximately on “half-pages” (5.5 X8.5"), this is not a common page size for wordprocessors, so you will find it here done on8.5 X 11" landscape, two columns. Thus twopages in the BCP becomes one page in thisdocument.You may redistribute this documentelectronically provided no fee is charged andthis header remains part of the document.While every attempt was made to ensureaccuracy, certain errors may exist in thetext.

The Lectionary
 
Concerning the Lectionary
The Lectionary for Sundays is arranged in a three-year cycle, in whichYear A always begins on the First Sunday of Advent in years evenlydivisible by three. (For example, 1977 divided by 3 is 659 with noremainder. Year A, therefore, begins on Advent Sunday of that year.)The Psalms and Lessons appointed for the Sundays and for other majorHoly Days are intended for use at all public services on such days, exceptwhen the same congregation attends two or more services. Thus, the same Lessons are to be read at the principal morning service, whether theLiturgy of the Word takes the form given in the Holy Eucharist, or that of the Daily Office.When the same congregation is present for Morning or Evening Prayer, in addition to the Eucharist, the Lessons at the Office may be selectedfrom one of the other years of the three-year Sunday cycle, or from theLectionary for the Daily Office. The Psalms at such Offices are normallythose appointed in the Office Lectionary; but, when desired, the Psalm cited in the selected Sunday Proper may be used instead.In this Lectionary, the selections from the Psalter are frequently cited in alonger and shorter version, usually from the same Psalm. The longer version is particularly appropriate for use at the Office, the shorter versionwhen the Psalm is sung between the Lessons at the Eucharist. The selectionsmay be further lengthened or shortened at discretion.When an alternative Lesson is cited, it is sometimes identical with aLesson appointed for the same day in the Daily Office Lectionary.In the opening verses of Lessons, the Reader should omit initialconjunctions which refer only to what has preceded, substitute nouns forpronouns when the referent is not otherwise clear, or else prefix to theReading some such introduction as, “
. said (to
.).”Any Reading may be lengthened at discretion. Suggested lengthenings areshown in parentheses.
