Note to readers from Fr. Constantine:
Most of these sermons are based on a
Bible text that comes from what are
called the “Propers for the day.” The
“day” being a named day on the calendar
of the church year. Sometimes more than
one Propers is part of the basis for a
sermon. In fact, sometimes all of them
come into play. For these reasons, I
suggest that you read all five parts of the
Propers for a particular day before
reading the sermon for that day. Also, in

Propers for a particular day before
reading the sermon for that day. Also, in
a few instances, there may be two sermons for a particular day, e.g. the Fourth
Sunday in Lent, that were preached in different years, for which the Old Testament
lessons and the Psalm(s) are different. When that happens, the correct Propers will
accompany each sermon.
The Propers for a particular day consist of the following five things:
All of these Propers will have been heard by the congregation before they heard the
sermon. If you will read the Propers that accompany each sermon before reading the
sermon, that will make the sermon more meaningful to you and will let you see that
the sermon is founded on God’s word written, the Holy Bible. Biblically based.
Happy reading!
Sunday in Lent, that were preached in different years, for which the Old Testament
lessons and the Psalm(s) are different. When that happens, the correct Propers will
accompany each sermon.
The Propers for a particular day consist of the following five things:
- A special prayer called the Collect for the Day that sets the theme for the day;
- A reading from the Old Testament;
- A selection of one or more Psalms that were read responsively during the
service on that day; - A reading that is called the Epistle lesson that is almost always from one of the
books of the New Testament other than the Four Gospels of Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. In a few rare cases, the Epistle lesson may be from the Old
Testament. - A reading from one of the Four Gospels.
All of these Propers will have been heard by the congregation before they heard the
sermon. If you will read the Propers that accompany each sermon before reading the
sermon, that will make the sermon more meaningful to you and will let you see that
the sermon is founded on God’s word written, the Holy Bible. Biblically based.
Happy reading!
