this is a catholic bible, is were written the word of God and JesusRoman Catholic AnswerThe "Catholic Bible" is the Bible, it contains all the books of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Lectionary is the Book used at Mass for the various readings. It contains the First reading (from the Old or New Testament), a Second Reading for Sundays and Solemnities (from the New Testament), and a Gospel Reading for every day of the year, and every possible Mass for the year. It contains, within its various readings, the entire New Testament, and readings from all the books of the Old Testament spread out over a three year plan, which includes the entire salvation history. It is NOT the entire Bible, and certainly not arranged that way.It is arranged with the set of three readings for the Sundays, and two readings for weekdays through the year divided into the various seasons, Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent, Triduum, Easter, Ordinary Time, and then the propers and commons for various Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials through the year.
The Lectionary contains all the readings for Mass, for the two year cycle for daily readings, and the three year cycle for Sunday readings.
In the Catholic Church, there are two different cycles of readings, one for Sunday Masses (allowing the Church to read nearly the entire Bible in three years on Sundays) and one for weekday Masses (which covers the same amount of The Bible in two years). It is important to remember that Sunday Masses have three readings while weekday Masses have two. During Sunday Masses, the first reading usually comes from the Old Testament, with rare exceptions including the Sundays of the Easter Season, when the first readings come from the Book of Acts. Also, during Advent, the first reading comes from the book of Revelation on Sundays. During weekday Masses, the first reading comes from either the Old or New Testament.

On all Sundays and Solemnities (Christmas, All Saints, Immaculate Conception, Assumption, etc.) there are three (well, four if you count the psalm), usually an Old Testament reading, a psalm, a New Testament reading, and the Gospel. Weekday Masses only have one reading, the psalm, and the Gospel, there is no second reading on a non-solemnity.
