The Roman Catholic Lectionary Website Introduction / Purpose: Many other websites provide easy access to the scripture readings assigned to particular Sundays and/or Weekdays in the Lectionaries of various Christian denominations (see my Links page). For the full text of the readings for the current and upcoming months in the Roman Catholic liturgy, see especially the website of the USCCB. In contrast, this website provides comprehensive tables of the scripture readings from several Latin and English editions of the Roman Catholic Lectionary for Mass, so that you can easily obtain an overview of all the readings used in a particular liturgical season (Advent, Christmas, etc.) and/or in a particular year of Ordinary Time (Sundays in Years A, B, C; Weekdays in Years I & II). Cross-references and comparative analyses are also provided to enable you more easily see the differences between various editions of the Lectionary for Mass. |
