Preparing for Bible study, I have the following questions. I brought this up last week but our Pastor's answer didn’t satisfy me. He, like you is a Luther Seminary grad. Perhaps as you go over the week’s readings you can she'd some light on my question.
Forgive me for interrupting, but why oh why is the Lectionary, using advent readings, Is7:10-14; Lk 21:21-33 during Lent? The Heb 10:4-10 is sort of Lentie ;) but more ecclesial. Psalm 45 is very Marian and advent.
I think you're looking at the readings for the Annunciation of our Lord, which is March 25! That's why it's Marian and Advent sounding. This week's readings are Ezekiel 37:1-14 (so good!), Psalm 130, Romans 8:6-11 and John 11:1-45. LOTS to cover.
I'm sorry Angela, senior moment. The lectionary list I'm looking at is just a PDF list. The Feast of the annunciation is at the bottom of a page, just next on the list. It is March 25 I just assumed it was Sunday. All day are kind of the same after you are retired. Too many years in the RC Church😁

My very RC wife, Carol( catholic school K- BSN) told me why this is in Lent, because 9 months until Christmas:)
Ha!! Yes! Thanks Carol.
