For those wanting to plan out their lectio divina, here is a listing of the Scriptural readings covered at Matins in the Benedictine Office.
It only covers non-Gospel Scriptural readings - for full lists of the readings see the more detailed posts for the various liturgical seasons. In the Benedictine Office there are no weekday readings during summer.
The main point to note is that the readings do not cover the entire Bible. The Matins cycle does of course have to be considered in conjunction with the Epistles read at Mass, and the texts set for feasts (including of the saints). All the same:

It only covers non-Gospel Scriptural readings - for full lists of the readings see the more detailed posts for the various liturgical seasons. In the Benedictine Office there are no weekday readings during summer.
The main point to note is that the readings do not cover the entire Bible. The Matins cycle does of course have to be considered in conjunction with the Epistles read at Mass, and the texts set for feasts (including of the saints). All the same:
- some books are not read at all, or get only one or two readings (generally for feasts) - the books of the Pentateuch other than Genesis, Chronicles (Parahelion), Acts, and Revelations in particular get short shrift;
- even those that are included can be omitted depending on the number of weeks after Epiphany and Pentecost;
- the readings typically select out a few verses from the opening chapters of many books, they don't cover the full chapter or book; and
- some receive a quite disproportionate amount of time on the face of it (Maccabees for example, compared to the Wisdom books).
