Kā Baznīca izvēlas Bībeles lasījumus?

Daudziem noteikti ir radies jautājums, pēc kādiem kritērijiem Baznīca izvēlas lasījumus Svētās Mises liturģijā? Pēc Vatikāna II koncila reformas visi svētdienu lasījumi tika sadalīti ciklos pa trīs gadiem - A, B un C gads. Darbadienu lasījumi tika sadalīti ciklos pa diviem gadiem - I un II. Līdz ar to Romas Katoliskajā Baznīcā visā pasaulē svētās Mises laikā tiek lasīti vieni un tie paši lasījumi, tikai dažādās valodās un ik pēc trim gadiem (darbadienās pēc diviem) tie atkārtojas. Savādāk ir ar tā saucamajiem "stiprajiem" "gadalaikiem" - Adventa, Kristus Dzimšanas svētku, Gavēņa un Lieldienu laiku, kā arī ar Lielajiem svētkiem un svētkiem. Tiem vienmēr ir savi lasījumi. Tālāk piedāvāju šo Bībeles tekstu sadalījumu tabulas, atbilstoši katrai svētdienai un svētkiem. 2016.gads ir C gads, 2017.gads būs A gads un 2018.gads būs B gads, u.t.t. Teksts angļu valodā.
