THE LECTIONARY
A. INTRODUCTION
1. At the biannual meeting in Guyana in June of 2015, the House of Bishops and the Standing Committee of the Provincial Synod decided that beginning this Advent the Revised Common Lectionary will be used by the Dioceses in the Province in place of the Lectionary printed in the Book of Common Prayer for the West Indies. The Revised Lectionary has been approved by the Provinces of York and Canterbury in the United Kingdom, the Episcopal Church of North America, the Churches of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Roman Catholic Church and some Conferences of the Lutheran and Presbyterian Churches.
This revision is designed to introduce a common theme or correlation in the Eucharistic readings for Sundays. The weekday readings remain the same for the other daily scriptural reading as found in the Prayer Book based on the two -year cycle.
The weekday readings for the Eucharist and the Daily Offices are the same as in the Provincial Book of Common Prayer and are easier to follow.
2. In this Lectionary Pentecost 26/28 Proper, the Sunday before the last after Pentecost has been designated Harvest Thanksgiving. However, parishes in the Family Islands, where there are truly harvests, may find it more appropriate to observe that Festival on another Sunday.
3. The page numbers of the Collects are those of the Provincial Prayer Book.
4. Abbreviations used in this Lectionary: BCP-Book of Common Prayer, MP-Morning Prayer, EP-Evening Prayer, OH-Office Hymns, A&M-Ancient and Modern, CPWI - Church in the
Province of the West Indies Hymnal, Ps.-Psalm, and, a, b or c - first, second or third parts of verses, AvD -Anniversary to the Diaconate, AvP - Anniversary to the Priesthood, R -Rector, AC - Assistant Curate.
B. THE DEDICATION AND THE PATRONAL OR FEAST OF TITLE FESTIVAL
1. The Dedication and the Patronal or Feast of Title of a church is observed on the actual date of that Festival.
2. In churches where the actual rededication date is unknown, it is the custom to observe the FEAST on the first Sunday in October.
3. In addition to the actual date stated in the calendar, the Patronal or Feast of Title as well as Dedication Feast may be celebrated also on the Sunday BEFORE or AFTER the FEAST . That Sunday is usually called the External Solemnity of the FEAST. (See pg. 11 BCP). On that Sunday, in that Church, the Collect and Readings for all services are those of the FEAST Day.
4. In this Diocese, when the FEAST of Dedication, Patronal or Titular FEAST occurs during the season of Advent or Lent, on the Sunday BEFORE or AFTER the FEAST, one service only, preferably a Mass, is allowed in celebration of the FEAST . The other services must be of the season.
5. The Patronal Festival of the Diocese, “The Nativity of St. John the Baptist,” is observed in ALL Parishes as a Principal Feast (See pg.10 BCP). It is observed as well on the Sunday BEFOR E or AFTER the FEAST DAY depending upon that chosen by the Diocese.
6. The following Readings and Collect are used for the Dedication Festival:
FirstEvensongontheEve: Psalm(s) 147, Genesis 28:10-22, O.H. 396 Part I and Doxology, Revelation 21:9 -16, Collect pg.199 #12.
Morning Prayer: Psalm(s) 103, 2 Chronicles 29:6-11, Ephesians 2:8-23, Collect pg.199 #12.
EveningPrayer: Psalm(s) 122 & 132, 2 Chronicles 5:6 - 6:2, OH 396 Part I and Doxology, Hebrews 10:19 -25, Collect p199 #12.
The Eucharist: 1 Kings 8:22-30, Psalm(s) 84:1-6, 1 Peter 2:1-5, 9, 10; Matthew 21:1216; Gloria, Collect pg.199 #12, Creed, Preface of Dedication.
7. The Readings and Psalm(s) for the Patronal Festival or the Feast of Title are:
If the Feast is a Principal or Major Feast (pg.10, 11, 12 BCP) the Readings for Morning and Evening Prayer, the Eucharist and the Evening Prayer on the Eve are those printed in the Lectionary for all churches for that day.
On the Sunday BEFORE or AFTER (not both) the same Readings or Collect as indicated above are used.
If the FEAST is a Memorial or Commemoration (pg.16, 17 BCP) the Readings and Collect for Morning and Evening Prayer on the Feast Day are those in the Lectionary for that Patron Saint’s Church or Feast of Title’s Church ONLY; the Eucharistic Readings are given for all Churches in the Diocese to manifest our solidarity with that particular Church. This is the practice even for those feasts like St. Faith’s and St. Christopher’s Churches, which are not in our Calendar.

D. VARIOUS BITS OF INFORMATION
1. On Weekdays which are Ferias (i.e. a day which is not a Saint’s Day), two lessons and a Psalm(s) from the Weekday Lectionary are appointed. However, the celebrant, if he/she so desires, may use one of the Propers from “Various Occasions” (BCP pg.196). These are sometime called Votive Masses.
2. On the Sunday evenings after Pentecost 1 (Trinity Sunday) Hymn 20 CPWI Standard may be used alternatively with Hymn 12 as the Office Hymns.
3. The following are the dates for 2021:
Ash Wednesday…………… February 17th
Easter……………………… April 4th
Ascension Day……………. May 13th
Pentecost………………...... May 23rd
Advent……………………...November 28th
E. THE ADVENT WREATH
1. The Advent Wreath has four red, purple or blue candles in a ring around a white or gold candle. Sometimes it has three of the colors mentioned and one rose and one white. The first
candle is lit on Advent Sunday; additional ones are lit, one on each Sunday, and the white or gold one on Christmas Day.
2. The new candle each week may appropriately be lit after the Introit Hymn.
3. All five candles may appropriately be alight during services through the Christmas season.
4. There are several traditions about the meaning or theme of each candle. The scheme that accords best with the Lectionary is:
Advent 1……………………The Patriarchs
Advent 2……………………The Prophets
Advent 3……………………John the Baptist
Advent 4……………………The Virgin Mary
Christmas…………………...The Christ
5. Each of the four Sundays then reminds us of those who prepared for the coming of Christ. “The Patriarchs” can naturally focus on Abraham, our father in faith, and David, Jesus’ ancestor in whose city He was born. “The Prophets” give an opportunity to reflect on the way the birth of the Messiah was “foretold”. John, who proclaimed the Saviour, and Mary, who bore Him in her womb, completes the picture.
6. The prayers below reflect these four themes. The second and third prayers in each case are written with children in mind, and the third is to be said by the congregation together. Only one prayer need be used on any occasion, though the second and third fit well together in each case.
ADVENT 1
1. Blessed are You, Sovereign Lord, God of our ancestors: to You be praise and glory forever! You called the patriarchs to live by the light of faith and to journey in the hope of Your promised fulfillment. May we be obedient to Your call and be ready and watchful to receive Your Christ, a lamp to our
feet and a light to our path for You are our Light and our Salvation.
Blessed be God for ever.
2. God of Abraham and Sarah, and all the patriarchs of old, You are our Father too. Your love is revealed to us in Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of David. Help us in preparing to celebrate His birth to make our hearts ready for Your Holy Spirit to make His home among us. We ask this through Jesus Christ, the Light who is coming into the world.
3. Lord Jesus, Light of the world, born in Da vid’ s city of Bethlehem, born like him to be a king; Be born in our hearts this Christmastide, be king of our lives today.
ADVENT 2
1. Blessed are You, Sovereign Lord, just and true, to You be praise and glory forever! Of old You spoke by the mouth of Your prophets but in our days You speak through your Son whom You have appointed the Heir of all things. Grant us, Your people, to walk in His Light that we may be found ready and watching when He comes in glory and judgment; for You are our Light and our Salvation.
Blessed be God for ever.
2. God our Father, You spoke to the prophets of old of a Saviour who would bring peace. You helped them to spread the joyful message of His coming kingdom. Help us, as we prepare to celebrate His birth, to share with those around us the Good News of Your power and love. We ask this through Jesus Christ, the Light who is coming into the world.
3. Lord Jesus, Light of the world, the prophets said You would bring peace and save Your people in trouble. Give peace in our hearts at Christmastide and sho w all the world God’ s love.
1. Blessed are You, Sovereign Lord, just and true; to You be praise and glory forever! Your prophet John the Baptist was witness to the truth as a burning and shining light. May we Your servants rejoice in His Light, and so be led to witness to Him, Who is the Lord of our coming Kingdom, Jesus our Saviour and King of kings.
Blessed be God for ever.
2. God our Father, You gave to Zechariah and Elizabeth in their old age a son called John. He grew up strong in spirit, prepared the people for the coming of the Lord, and baptized them in the Jordan to wash away their sins. Help us, who have been baptized in Christ, to be ready to welcome Him into our hearts, and to grow strong in faith by the power of the Spirit. We ask this through Jesus Christ, the Light who is coming into the world.
3. Lord Jesus, Light of the world, John told the people to prepare, for You were very near. As Chr istmas grows closer day by day, help us to be ready to welcome You now.
ADVENT 4
1. Blessed are You, Sovereign Lord, merciful and gentle: to You be praise and glory forever! Your light has shone in our darkened world through the child-bearing of blessed Mary; grant that we who have seen Your glory may daily be renewed in Your image and prepared like her for the coming of Your Son, Who is the Lord and Saviour of all.
Blessed be God for ever.
2. God our Father, the angel Gabriel told the Virgin Mary that she was to be the mother of Your Son. Though Mary was afraid, she responded to Your call with joy. Help us, whom You call to serve You, to share like her in Your great work of
bringing to our world Your love and healing. We ask this through Jesus Christ, the Light who is coming into the world.
3. Lord Jesus, Light of the world, blessed is Gabriel who brought good news; blessed is Mary Your mother and ours. Bless Your Church preparing for Christmas; and bless us Your c h i l d r e n w h o l o n g
.
CHRISTMAS DAY
1. Blessed are You, Sovereign Lord, King of peace: to You be praise and glory forever! The new Light of Your incarnate Word gives gladness in our sorrow, and a presence in our isolation. Fill our lives with Your Light, until they overflow with gladness and praise.
Blessed be God for ever.
2. God our Father today the Saviour is born and those who live in darkness are seeing a great light. Help us, who greet the birth of Christ with joy, to live in the Light of Your Son, and to share the Good News of Your love. We ask this through Jesus Christ, the Light who has come into the world.
3. Lord Jesus, Light of light, You have come among us. Help us who live by Your Light to shine a s lights in Your world. Glory to God in the highest!
F. THE BLESSING OF THE CRIB
1. BeforetheMidnightEucharist:
Today you will know that the Lord is coming to save us: And in the morning you will see his glory. Hear the words of the prophet Isaiah: The Lord Himself will give you a sign. It is this: the maiden is
with child and will soon give birth to a son whom she will call Emmanuel, a name which means ‘God is with us’ .
Thanks be to God.
2. AftertheMidnightEucharist:
A light will shine on us this day: The Lord is born for us.
Hear the words of Saint Luke:
When the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘LetusgotoBethlehemand seethisthingthathashappenedwhichtheLordhasmade known to us.’ So they hurried away, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.
Thanks be to God.
3. On other occasions:
A hallowed day has dawned upon us. Come and worship the Lord:
for a great light as shone on the earth.
Hear the words of the Book of Wisdom:
When peaceful silence lay overall and the night was in the midst of her swift course, from your royal throne, O God, down from the heavens, leapt your almighty Word.
Hear the words of Saint John:
God’s love for us was revealed when God sent his only Son into the world so that we could have life through Him.
Thanks be to God.
Let us pray, that God our Father will bless this crib, and that all who worship His Son, born of the Virgin Mary, may come to share His life in glory.
God our Father, on this night (day) Your Son Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary for us and for our salvation. Bless this crib, which we have prepared to celebrate that holy birth; may all who see it be strengthened in faith and receive the fullness of life He came to bring, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
In the faith of Christ, and in Your name, O God most holy, we hallow this crib of Christmas, to set before the eyes of Your children the great love and humility of Jesus Christ Your Only Son; who for us, and for our salvation, came down as at this time from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary His mother, and was made man; to whom with You and the same Spirit be all honour, majesty, glory, and worship, now and to the ages of ages. Amen.
May the grace of Christ our Saviour be with us all. Amen.

The Dismissal
I. COVERING OF CROSSES, STATUES, ETC…
The ancient custom of covering objects as an expression of grief was never confined only to religious occasions. In a household on the death of a member of the family, all photographs, paint-
ings and other objects were either covered or bordered with black crepe. Persons who entered the house saw these external signs of mourning. In the secular world we still put wreaths on doors and on buildings to indicate death of a former resident or employee. At Military and State Funerals, military bands drape their drums in black – muffle them – and cover all crowns and other insignia in the same colour. Black arm bands are also worn in some units and on some persons.
Formerly, the Sunday before Palm Sunday was the time when the Church began her mourning period by solemnly observing the events leading up to our Lord’s betrayal, passion, crucifixion and death on the cross. In the old missals this Sunday which was called Passion Sunday still retains the name Lent V. The Sunday which begins Holy Week – Palm Sunday – is now called the Sunday of the Passion.
The Gospel in the older missals contained the words, “… but Jesushidhimself,andwentoutofthetemple.” John 8:59
All crosses, statues and paintings (pictures) are covered or hidden with purple cloths.
J. THE EASTER OR PASCHAL CANDLE
1. The candle symbolizes the presence of the Lord in the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, which led the Israelites through the Red Sea from bondage into a new life. At the Easter Vigil it is to be lighted prior to the procession into the darkened church. So within the administration of Baptism at the Easter Vigil or on other occasions when the Paschal Candle is lighted, it is seen to represent the Christ leading the newly-baptized to a new life.
2. The recent liturgical reforms restored the Paschal (Easter) Candle to its former status as a symbol of the timeless and universal person of Christ and not simply representing the visible resurrected presence of HIM. For that reason, it is no
longer extinguished after the Gospel on Ascension Day and put away. It is not extinguished until after the Evensong on the Feast of Pentecost. It should be placed near the Font and lighted at Baptisms and also at Funerals, when it is placed near the coffin.
3. It has been suggested that when the lighting of candles takes place at Holy Matrimony, the two parental candles should be lighted from the Easter Candle.

Prayer on the Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood
Almighty and everlasting God, who hast vouchsafed to call me, thy unworthy servant, to minister at thine altar, be merciful to my sins, and make me a fit minister to thee, that thou mayest graciously receive sacrifice at my hands, and number me amongst thy faithful priests. Let the holy office with which I have been invested, render me acceptable in thy sight, O Lord; and grant that, trusting in thy mercy, though in myself mist unworthy, I may worthily partake of those holy mysteries, which I presume to celebrate; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Clerics in Holy Orders are reminded of their Ordination vow “Will you be diligent in prayer, both in public and in private, in the recitation of Morning and Evening Prayer, and in such things as may increase your love for God”. (CPWI BCP pg.461)

The Advent Litany: Hymn A&M 463 may be sung before Mass each Sunday during Advent.
When a Doxology is the last verse of a hymn throughout the year ‘AMEN’ is sung. On other occasions it may be used as desired to end hymns. AMEN: “So be it”.

Grant us the fortitude to follow their example with pure and forgiving hearts, and daily strive to maintain our freedom, to rebuke vice and to create our land into a haven of peace, love and joy. Grant this, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
