For Sunday, May 10, 2026, the LCMS One-Year Lectionary observes the Fifth Sunday of Easter, traditionally known as Cantate (meaning "Sing to the Lord").

The theme for this Sunday is "The Holy Spirit Convicts the World through the Word," focusing on the promise of the Comforter and the joy of the new song we sing because of the Resurrection.
