“We urgently need to grow in our knowledge and love of the Scriptures and of the risen Lord, who continues to speak his word and to break bread in the community of believers” Pope Francis
What is happening to the Lectionary and why?
The lectionary is changing as part of the continuing process of revising liturgical translations. The process began with the Roman Missal in 2011 and has continued to work through all the other liturgical rites.
What translation will the new Lectionary use?
The new lectionary will be using the English Standard Version – Catholic Edition of the Bible and the Abbey Psalter.
What effect will the changes have on the readings?
The changes are intended to make the biblical translations more faithful to the original languages, using better and more up-to-date biblical scholarship and to use a text which is more proclaimable and where suitable more inclusive.
When are the changes taking place?
The Lectionary, which includes the scripture readings for Mass and the sacraments, will come into use in Catholic parishes in England & Wales and in Scotland from Advent 2024.
What is CTS publishing to help priests and people with the new Lectionary?
CTS has been chosen by the Bishops’ Conferences to publish the official Ritual editions of the Lectionary for England and Wales and Scotland. These ritual editions will be the only editions authorised for use in these territories.
CTS is also publishing ESV Gospels, The Abbey Psalter Psalms and Canticles, new musical settings of the responsorial psalms and explanatory and training texts for readers and the faithful. Details can be found in the second part of the brochure.
