Readings for the day · Advent Season · All Four Lectionaries
The readings for December 8, 2025, in all four lectionaries
Roman Catholic keeps The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Revised Common, LSB Three-Year and Historic One-Year appoint no readings for this date. There is nothing to compare on this date: it belongs to the Roman Catholic calendar alone.

Revised Common Lectionary and LSB Three-Year Lectionary and Historic One-Year Lectionary appoint no readings for this date, so they have no column above.
A permanent page for this day, which will still show these readings whenever it comes round again: lectionary.com/compare/year-a/immaculate-conception.
Every citation above opens its own page: the passage, verse-by-verse commentary, background and word study, the Church Fathers, and worship resources. An “or” line is the second track a lectionary offers for the same day, not a different Sunday. Agreement is judged by chapter, because the four rarely cut a passage to the same length.
