Readings for the Daily Office of the Book of Common Prayer
The following is an aid to help make praying the Daily Office from the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) easier. Rather than navigating through the lectionary and then flipping through your Bible to find the daily readings, I copied them out of my Bible program and put them all together in a format you can print out either as a sheet or a booklet. For each day there are two OT readings, a NT Epistle reading and a Gospel reading. Most days also have a non-biblical reading from the Catholic version of the Daily Office, most of which are from the early Church Fathers.
To make the booklets, print double sided along the short end and staple down the middle.
This is a work in progress, so over time I’ll be adding what I have done.
Year One starts in the Advent before on ODD numbered year (i.e., 2011, Year one starts in December of 2010-Novemeber 2011)
Year Two starts in the Advent before an EVEN numbered year (i.e., 2010 – Year two starts in December of 2009-November 2010)
