NOTE: If there is no other opportunity to use the texts appointed for Liturgy of the Palms, then in some years the homily or sermon might well be based on one or both of those texts rather than only and always on the texts appointed for Liturgy of the Word. The lectionaries of all our denominations do not include the whole of Scripture, or even in some cases a representative text of some important portions of it.
The major difference between the Standard (Episcopal) Lectionary and the Revised Common Lectionary is in the Propers (the Sundays after Pentecost). There are no readings for Proper 1 and Proper 2.
One track (called here "Semi-Continuous Track") arranges the Old Testament lessons in a semi-continuous narrative, similar to the way the Epistles are read in ordinary time. Year C focuses on the Prophets, arranged in chronological order, with heavy emphasis on Jeremiah.
The other track (called here "Gospel Theme Track") is similar to the Standard (Episcopal) Lectionary, wherein the lesson from the Old Testament (Hebrew Scripture) is chosen to complement the themes of the particular Gospel reading for the day.
Both tracks use the same New Testament Lesson and Gospel.

If the Sunday between May 24 and May 28 inclusive follows Trinity Sunday, the Proper for the Eighth Sunday after the Epiphany is used. (Source: Revised Common Lectionary: Episcopal Edition, St. Mark's Press, Wichita, KS, page 297)
