2025–2026 Liturgical Calendar from The Lutheran Missal now available!

The sanctoral calendar for the first part of December from Dr. Luther’s Betbüchlein, 1534 edition.

The daily liturgical calendar for the upcoming year has been made available from The Lutheran Missal. It is available in two forms, the first in a Google Sheet with readings noted, easy for pastors and musicians to copy and adapt for their service planning purposes, to print for a ready reference, or to distribute to altar guilds for their use. The readings listed are for the mass, not the daily office, though one could also use them for that purpose if desired. The TLM calendar is also available in a Google Calendar format for ready and easy access on one’s computer or other devices.

The calendar is unusually robust for American Lutherans, but largely follows the calendar provided by Dr. Luther in his Betbüchlein, first published in 1522 and then republished regularly for the next several decades (the particular edition consulted was from 1534, though the calendars don’t seem to differ from one another in the various editions).
