Based on the Revised Common Lectionary
The foundational premise of this
set of daily readings is their relationship to the Sunday lectionary.
The readings are chosen so that the days leading up to Sunday (Thursday
through Saturday) prepare for the Sunday readings. The days flowing out
from Sunday (Monday through Wednesday) reflect upon the Sunday readings.
