Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path -Psalm 119:105
Lectionary
A Lectionary is composed of the readings and the responsorial psalm assigned for each Mass of the year (Sundays, weekdays, and special occasions). The readings are divided by the day or the theme (baptism, marriage, vocations, etc.) rather than according to the books of the Bible.
The lectionary is a pre-selected collection of scriptural readings from the Bible that can be used for worship, study or other theological uses.
This system of readings was prepared in order to fulfill a mandate of the Second Vatican Council, which called for the provision of a richer share of God's word through the use of a more representative portion of Scripture during worship than had previously been the case.
The Revised Common Lectionary was produced by The Consultation on Common Texts (CCT). At the time the RCL was compiled, the CCT was composed of representatives from the following denominations (taken from Consultation on Common Texts.
The advantage of a common lectionary is its invitation to read Scripture in community. In the lectionary, you're reading the same Scripture with other Christians all over the world, being formed in the likeness of Jesus alongside each of them.
