The new edition of the Lectionary for Mass  confirmed by the Vatican in Rome, comes into use in England and Wales next Sunday, the First Sunday of Advent 2024.

The Archdiocese of St Andrew’s and Edinburgh has published three YouTube videos on the Lectionary which are useful for formation as to why the text has changed.

 Fr Paul Denney on ‘The New Lectionary’

 and Fr Adrian Porter SJ on ‘Proclaim the Word in the Liturgy’
