That is true,but the readings are not as important. Or even necessary. and one of the (Many0 issues I have with the “Novus Ordo” is the fact, that its 3 year lectionary, departs from the Ancient seasonal cycle, of one year. I cant explain how It stirs something inside me, on the last Sunday after Pentecost. The season is ending…I follow along in my Missal, as the Deacon intones in Latin…the approaching end of time…(in the Gospel reading)…Modern Americans could learn alot from their ancestors, about the importance of sacred seasons. not to disparage, dear brother…but what exactly is “Ordinary time?”The Mass is no less theocentric for having three readings as opposed to two. And talk about what we’ve rec.from apostolic times! Hasn’t scripture always been included in the Mass?
Either of the Masses of the Latin Rite draws us into the Divine (as do the Eastern Divine Liturgies).
