Notes:
The Sunday Lectionary is a three year cyclical lectionary. The year which begins with Advent 2007 and ends at Advent 2008 is Year A. The year which began at Advent 2006 and ends at Advent 2007 is Year C. The First Sunday of Advent 2008 begins Year B.
The Bible translation used is The New Revised Standard Version, copyright 1989 by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Church of Christ in the USA, and used by permission.
The collects and the Psalms are from the Book of Common Prayer. The collects use the contemporary wording.
The liturgical color appropriate for the day is indicated, when the color is green, red or purple, by the color of the numeral against a light grey background. When the liturgical color is white, the numeral is black against a white background.
On weekdays, other than major Holy Days, the color indicated is the color appropriate to the season. When celebrating the feast of a martyred saint, red is also appropriate.
