Ordo Lectionum Missae
The Ordo Lectionum Missae (known officially in English as the Order of Readings for Mass and commonly referred to as the OLM) is the main liturgical lectionary used in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. It contains the designated scripture readings for the celebration of the Mass of Paul VI, encompassing selections (pericopes) from both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.
The development of the Ordo Lectionum Missae was a response to the liturgical reforms initiated by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), with the aim of promoting active participation of the laity in the Mass. Prior to the council, the Tridentine Mass of Roman Rite adhered to a one-year cycle of readings, incorporating a limited selection of passages. The OLM introduced a three-year cycle of readings (designated as Years A, B, and C) for Sundays, and a two-year cycle for weekdays (I and II), significantly expanding the number of passages read during Mass.
When introduced in 1969, the Latin text used for the readings specified in the OLM was taken from the Vulgate. This was replaced by the Nova Vulgata in 1981 with the publication of the OLM's second edition.
The OLM is structured to align with the liturgical calendar and specifies readings for every Sunday and major feast day in the Roman Catholic liturgical year.
Masses for Sundays and major feast days are characterized by a structured selection of readings. This arrangement comprises the following components:
In the context of Masses for weekdays, lesser feasts, and special occasions, a similar structure is employed, resulting in a set of readings that includes four distinct elements:
The OLM also specifies the text used to introduce the readings, and may include an incipit, a phrase used to start the reading if the pericope begins in the middle of a longer passage.
The lectionary is the guide for selecting the assigned readings for each Mass, the passages align with the General Roman Calendar of 1969 which is followed by the majority of Catholics. It is used in the ordinary form of the mass of the Roman Catholic Church, in contrast with the traditional "extraordinary form" which is still used by a few groups that adhere to the traditional calendar.
