Based on the historical facts and the recent documents of the Holy See, the proposal for partial renewal of the Sunday Lectionary will be discussed. The main method used in the study is the analysis of the historical sources, documents of the Holy See, and theological studies. The critical analysis and comparative method will lead to the synthetic presentation of postulates of the partial renewal of the present lectionary after fifty years of usage in the liturgy. The analysis conclusions provide suggestions for the enrichment of the lectionary: firstly, with the passages from the Old Testament read in their whole context, not only according to the harmonization with the text of the Gospel; secondly, with the thematic selection of the second reading compatible with the first reading, and the Gospel reading; thirdly, with the texts pointing out the role of women in the history of salvation.enCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychlectionaryBibleliturgyMasstheologyecumenical significance of the lectionaryChurch documentshistorical sourcesliturgicslekcjonarzBibliaPismo ŚwięteliturgiaMsza świętateologiaekumeniczne znaczenie lekcjonarzadokumenty Kościołaźródła historyczneliturgikaArticle
