The readings are all taken from The Bible, which Christians consider to be inspired by God. The readings are selected for each day to explain some lesson to the people. That is why the homily is delivered, to explain the meaning. The two or three readings are often chosen to complement each other, to fill out a more complete lesson, such as showing an Old Testament type being fulfilled in the New Testament. So the faithful consider that hearing the inspired writings is the same as hearing God speak.
