Year A Liturgy: The Gospel of Matthew

Every Sunday of the lectionary year, in calendar order

Year A of the Revised Common Lectionary follows the Gospel of Matthew, the teaching Gospel, with the Sermon on the Mount, the great parables of the kingdom, and Jesus' promise to be with us always. John's Gospel joins it through Lent and Easter.

Here is every Year A liturgy on one page, from the First Sunday of Advent to Christ the King, with each Sunday's Gospel reading. Sundays marked "Upcoming" will be added as they are written.
