YEAR A –
WEEKDAYS II
The links
below where possible are from 2017 for cycle A Sunday readings and 2018 for
year II weekday readings except where otherwise noted or in cases where those
liturgies were not celebrated in those years in which case earlier instances of
that celebration may be used. Links for
Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter are from 2019. An attempt was made to make
sure the commentaries and reflections were consistent with this liturgical year,
however, I have not removed the optional memorials from these posts so those
are not correct. The commentaries and reflections are updated daily
throughout the year and this calendar will not reflect those updates. For the most recent updates consult the current
year archive.
The USCCB
uses the weekday readings for most memorials and optional memorials. In those cases, links are provided to both
the weekday readings and the proper for the memorials. There are some memorials where only the
gospel from the proper is used (or in one case, the first reading and psalm are
from the proper). In those cases I have
attempted to find a past instance where the correct readings are used. In some cases I have constructed posts for
these situations that have not been placed in the archive. These will come up under the heading “Through
the Eyes of Faith.”

[1] Citations indicating the proper week of
the Psalter for the Liturgy of the Hours, or proper psalms, when applicable,
designated by Pss I, Pss II, etc., or Pss Prop respectively, are included in
this calendar.
[2] Optional Memorials are indicated by the
use of italics within brackets.
[3] Note for December 17-24 links are to
2014 posts so the day of the week would be consistent. If the reader wants the most recent edits,
click on the “S.S. Commemoratio” footnote and select the most recent year.
[4] On Saturdays
in Ordinary Time when there is no obligatory memorial, an optional memorial of
the Blessed Virgin Mary is allowed.[1] Mass texts may be taken from
the Common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, from a Votive Mass, or from the special collection
of Masses for the Blessed Virgin Mary (Suggested is
#26, The Blessed Virgin Mary, Image and
Mother of the Church, II).
[5] The General Instruction of the Roman
Missal (GIRM), no. 373, designates January 22 as a particular day of prayer and
penance, called the "Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children”:
“In all the Dioceses of the United States of America, January 22 (or January
23, when January 22 falls on a Sunday) shall be observed as a particular day of
prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life and
of penance for violations to the dignity of the human person committed through
acts of abortion.”
[6] Masses
for the Blessed Virgin Mary,
suggested for this date: The Blessed Virgin Mary, Pillar of Faith #35
[7] From the special collection of Masses
for the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Suggested for this date: Blessed Virgin Mary, Seat of Wisdom, #24B.
[11] If
necessary, the Chrism Mass may be celebrated on a suitable day before Holy
Thursday.
[12]
Nine
readings are assigned to the Easter Vigil: seven from the Old Testament and two
from the New. If
circumstances
demand in individual cases, the number of prescribed readings may be reduced.
Three selections from the Old Testament, both from the Law and the Prophets,
should be read before the Epistle and Gospel. In any case, the reading from
Exodus about the escape through the Red Sea (reading 3) should never be omitted.
[13]
Although not given the title of Solemnity, “[t]he first eight days of Easter
Time constitute the Octave of Easter and are celebrated as Solemnities of the
Lord” (Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, no. 24).
[14] When
the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated on the following Sunday, the Second Reading
and Gospel from the Seventh
Sunday of Easter (see no. 59) may be read on the Sixth
Sunday of Easter.
[15] This link is from 2010. For more recent edits to commentary select S.S. Commemoratio and choose 2018.
[17]
Note: Saint Jane Frances De Chantal’s feast day was originally set on December
12th, it was perpetually moved to August 12th so it did
not coincide with Our Lady of Guadalupe (also December 12th).
[18]
Note: this weekday, while readings are from the day, has not been called
Thursday of the Twenty-sixth Week since before 2006.
