Answer by  beccalittlejohn (13)

The Catholic Lextionary is a collection of three years worth of Biblical readings to be used during the daily and Sunday Mass. Traditionally, there are three readings during each service. The epistle may include Old or New Testament readings. The Gospel reading comes from one of the four recognized New Testament Gospels.

Within the Catholic lectionary you will find Biblical readings for each day of the week inclusive of weekdays, Sundays and holy days. Most Protestant lectionaries were constructed after the model of the Catholic lectionary. The lectionary cycle (two year daily mass and three year Sundays) covers almost the whole Bible.

The current Catholic lextionary, which can be purchased from most any catholic supply store, contains all of the biblical readings used at the Eucharist and other liturgies. It is arranged in the order of the liturgical calendar.

Answer by  CPKS (12)

The question is meaningless on both semantic and syntactic levels. "Lextionary" is the trade name of a computer application roughly like a thesaurus. There is no such thing as "the Catholic" Lextionary.
