Catholic churches use is that 3 readings are prescribed for every Sunday.
We miss large chunks of the Old Testament, but we do read every verse in the
New Testament over the course of 3 years (creatively named Year A, B and C).
The preacher always has the right to ignore it, but most pick at least one
lesson each Sunday as a jumping off point.

Have a Nice Day!
And what about the Old Testament?
The Old Testament is even larger than the New Testament.

One reason I like the common lectionary that most Lutheran, Episcopal, and
Catholic churches use is that 3 readings are prescribed for every Sunday.

No, that doesn't get the entire Old Testament, but it's at least a decent
survey. There is another part to the common lectionary, the readings
prescribed for every day. These are used a weekday services or for person
study and devotion. Every 2 years (these are creatively named Year 1 and
2!), it covers every word of the standard Bible, excluding the Apocrypha.
There are alternate readings that include the apocryphal books, for those
faiths that use them.
More obscure information you'll never use, right! ;) Hey, someday,
somebody from this list will be on Jeopardy and they'll thank us for all the
useless drivel they learned here!

I guess that I wasn't clear. The 3 lessons include a different one from the
OT each week of the 3 years, for a total of 156 weeks. We miss large
chunks, but do cover things from each book.
