Concerning the Proper

Proper Collects, Lessons, and Psalms are provided for the Eucharist on the weekdays of Lent. These Propers are also suitable for use at Liturgies of the Word (preaching services) held on those days. The First Lesson is invariably from the Old Testament, and is chosen to match the appointed Gospel.

Any of the Readings may be lengthened at discretion. Suggested lengthenings are shown in parentheses. The selections from the Psalter may be lengthened or shortened.
