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.
Good for you. It is nice to find a pastor or priest who can preach from the whole Bible, knows his stuff and can relate things.
How blessed you are.
It helps me to pray the office as well.
