* Four consecutive Sundays occuring between OT 5 & OT 13 are omitted each year, depending upon date of Easter; basically, if Advent 1 falls in November (or, in a non-leap year, December 1), an entire week (plus the remant of the week in which Ash Wednesday falls) of OT will be omitted during the preceding liturgical year (conversely, if Advent 1 falls on 12/3, 12/2 or, in a leap year, 12/1, there will not be an entire week omitted)

** The Sunday after Labor Day usually falls on OT 23 or OT 24

Sundays 6 through 9 are pre-empted in 2035 Sundays 6 through 10: 2016, 2027, 2032 Sundays 7 through 10: 2018, 2024, 2029 Sundays 7 through 11: 2015, 2021, 2026, 2037 Sundays 8 through 11: 2023, 2034 Sundays 8 through 12: 2014, 2020, 2031, 2036, 2039 Sundays 9 through 12: 2028 Sundays 9 through 13: 2017, 2019, 2022, 2025, 2030, 2033, 2038

The readings for Sunday 9 are never heard during the years 2014–2039 (although in 2011, the cycle A readings for the Ninth Sunday did get a hearing); only once do we get to hear any readings for the Tenth Sunday, in 2035. Sundays 9 and 10 are in the deepest part of what I call the Paschal eclipse of the Sunday Lectionary. The cycle B and C readings for Sundays 9 and 10 are not used even once in the thirty years 2010–2039. The cycle B readings for Sunday 8 are heard only twice (2030, 2033), and the cycle C readings for Sunday 8 are not heard between 2016 and 2034. On Sunday 7, the cycle A readings are not heard at all from 2023 to 2038, and cycle B is silent between 2012 and 2030. After 2016, the cycle C readings for Sunday 11 will not reappear until the 2040s. Further out on the fringe of the eclipse, the impact of the Paschal Season and associated feasts on the Sunday lectionary is less dramatic, but in 2011 even Sunday 14 was affected.
