Apostolic Church of the Pleroma Lectionary for Mass
The Apostolic Church of the Pleroma Lectionary for Mass provides the complete cycle of scriptural readings for Sunday Mass and the Major Feast Days of the ACP liturgical year. Compiled and arranged by Tau Phosphoros, Patriarch of the Apostolic Church of the Pleroma, this volume is the companion to the ACP Clergy Handbook and is designed to serve as a self-contained resource for the celebration of the Eucharist.
The Lectionary is organized according to the standard three-year cycle of the Western Church - Years A, B, and C - with each year ordered through the full liturgical calendar: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and the Season After Pentecost. Year A centers on the Gospel of Matthew, Year B on Mark, and Year C on Luke, with readings from the Gospel of John woven throughout all three years. The New Testament readings are synchronized with those of the broader Apostolic Church in the West, an arrangement that unites the ACP's liturgical practice with the wider egregore of the Universal Church while preserving the distinctive doctrinal perspective of the Gnostic tradition.
Preceding the lectionary proper, the volume includes the complete text of the Holy Gnostic Liturgy of the Pleromic Light - the central rite of the Apostolic Church of the Pleroma - making it possible to conduct a full Eucharistic celebration with a single volume at hand. Within this liturgy the reader will find expressed the highest principles of the Hermetic and Qabalistic traditions, together with the most sublime formulas of alchemical and theurgic operation, all reconciled in and through the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist.
An essential working tool for ACP clergy and those in communion with the Church, the Lectionary for Mass is equally valuable to scholars and students of the living Gnostic tradition who seek a concrete example of how ancient esoteric doctrine is expressed within a fully operative sacramental and liturgical framework.
