Lectionary
First readings always come fro the Lectionary.
The Lectionary is a number of large books which contain all the readings necessary for any Mass. There are usually three volumes that contain the readings for Sundays and Holy Days, and an additional three volumes that contain all the readings for the weekday Masses and various Votive Masses.
The Lectionary contains all the readings for Mass, for the two year cycle for daily readings, and the three year cycle for Sunday readings.
Some hymnals include the readings but the Lectionary is the book used at the altar which contains the readings.
Catholic AnswerThe Lectionary contains all the readings for Mass.
The lector reads from a book called the Lectionary which the priest also reads the gospel from. The book of prayers the priest reads from at the altar and chair is called the Roman Missal, or Sacramentary.
The basic purpose of the Common Lectionary is to provide over a three-year period a comprehensive reading of Scripture in the Church.
A lectionary is a collection of scripture readings assigned to each day or occasion in the liturgical calendar. Its purpose is to provide a structured way for churches to read and reflect on a variety of biblical passages throughout the year, ensuring a comprehensive coverage of the Bible within the worship services.
In 2018, the Catholic Church was in Cycle B of the Lectionary for Sunday readings. This cycle primarily features the Gospel of Mark, with selections from the Gospel of John during certain liturgical seasons, such as Lent and Easter. The weekday readings followed Year II of the two-year cycle, which includes a mix of readings from the Old and New Testaments.
