Summary/Abstract: Prepared after the Second Vatican Council, the Lectionary is a treasury of biblical readings, which were selected and organised in accordance with certain criteria, the main criterion being pastoral. To accept and experience the vitality and efficacy of the Divine Word, which is actualised in liturgical acts, we need to consider general and detailed rules for the interpretation of the lectionary. The main principle will be the one permitting us to capture the connection between the Word of God and liturgical celebration. Next, there is the principle of continuity of the Mystery, the Christological principle and more detailed ones, such as that of harmonisation and semicontinuous reading.
