Readings for the day · Pentecost Season · All Four Lectionaries
The readings for July 22, 2026, in all four lectionaries
Roman Catholic keeps Saint Mary Magdalene. 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.
| Reading | Roman CatholicSaint Mary MagdaleneYear A · Jul 22 |
|---|---|
| GospelOne only | John 20:1-2, 11-18 |
| Epistle / Second ReadingOne only | 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 |
| Old Testament / First ReadingOne only | Song of Songs 3:1-4b |
| PsalmOne only | Psalm 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9 |
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/mary-magdalene.
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.
