That’s good. Some churches I’ve been in preach almost exclusively from the New Testament and don’t use the Old Testament much. This is sad because there is so much good stuff in the OT and the OT is much longer than the NT.

Done properly, a good priest, or minister can unite all three readings and make it relevant to the world we live in today.
I happen to have a very good priest who always unites the readings.
If members of the parish take the opportunity to attend scripture study, he tells us the background and significance of each reading.

Really sad. I can’t get that... at all.

I believe Mware is talking about a Catholic Mass.....we have two readings before the Gospel, which is ALWAYS New Testament Jesus talking....the first is often the Old Testament, the second always the New........the PREACHING by the Priest after the Gospel is almost 100% about the Gospel....Jesus’s words and actions.
