| Sundays and solemnities use three readings, from Year A in 2005. Weekdays in Ord Time follow a 2 year cycle; Cycle 1 is used in 2005. Until such time that the revised edition of the Lectionary is published, the Ordo will indicate, where applicable, the lectionary numbers for readings, first from the anticipated revised U.S. edition of the Lectionary for Mass, then from the current 1970 edition. |
