The lectionaries (both Catholic and RCL versions) are organized into three-year cycles of readings. The years are designated A, B, or C. Each yearly cycle begins on the first Sunday of [[Advent]] (the Sunday between 27 November and 3 December inclusive). Year B follows year A, year C follows year B, then back again to A.

*Year A: [[Gospel of Matthew]] (Advent 2025 through 2026)
* Year B: [[Gospel of Mark]] (Advent 2026 through 2027)
* '''Year C: [[Gospel of Luke]] (Advent 2024 through 2025 – current year)'''

The [[Gospel of John]] is read throughout [[Easter]], and is used for other liturgical seasons including [[Advent]], [[Christmas]], and [[Lent]] where appropriate. In Year B, [[John 6|chapter 6 of the Gospel of John]] is read on the 17th to the 21st Sundays of [[Ordinary Time]] (ninth to thirteenth Sundays after Trinity), during July and August.
