The Sunday Gospel passages of the Lectionary follow a three-year cycle (A, B, C), in the third year (C) of which the Gospel of Saint Mark is generally read. This semi-continuous reading of Mark during the Sundays of Ordinary Time (Year C) is interrupted by the reading of passages from the other Gospels (such as John) during the special liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmastide, Lent and Easter. Occasionally the Gospel of John is read also during the Sundays of Ordinary Time Year C. The weekday Gospel passages are so arranged that portions of all four Gospels are read each year. Mark is read first (First to Ninth Wee), then Matthew (Tenth to Twenty-first Week), then Luke (Twenty-second to Thirty-fourth Week). Mark chapters 1-12 are read in their entirety, with the exception only of the two passages of Mark 6 are read on weekdays in other seasons. From Matthew and Luke, the readings comprise all the matters not contained in Mark - 11 - Christ’s eschatological discourse as contained in Luke is read at the end of the liturgical year.
