HOW ARE YOUR QUOTES CHOSEN?

This letter is published in today's Leicester Mercury:

How are your quotes chosen? 

I am always pleased to see Thought for the Day published in the Leicester Mercury, but I do wonder how these passages are chosen. 

They seem to have no connection to the liturgical year. 

We have had no Christmas season verses this month, and, indeed, a few weeks ago, we actually had an Easter reading. Would it not be easier to follow the Christian calendar and print the readings laid down by the Church? 

That said, I would rather have any Bible passages than none at all!
