Welcome to the Liturgy Bible!

The Liturgy Bible visualizes the liturgical use of the biblical text, including the Lectionary for Mass and selections from the Divine Office.

Note: due to the screen width required to view the annotations in the margins, this is best viewed on a desktop or laptop rather than a mobile device.

Check out some examples:

You can learn more about the inspiration for the Liturgy Bible by reading the original white paper here.

The annotations for the Liturgy Bible are compiled from a number of sources, including:

• USCCB: Liturgical Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America
• Felix Just, S.J., Ph.D.: The Catholic Lectionary Website (catholic-resources.org)
• Liturgical Press: Liturgy and Life Study Bible, Edited by Paul Turner and John W. Martens
• Matthew P Hazell: Index Lectionum: A Comparative Table of Readings for the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Roman Rite
• 2020 Notitiae: M. Lessi Ariosto, Commento al ciclo biennale di letture bibliche nell’Officium lectionis della Liturgia Horarum, Notitiae 56 (2020) 132-179. [for the 2-year cycle of the office of readings, forthcoming]
• Open Bibles: XML data for public domain biblical text, including KJV and DRA

The Liturgy Bible currently uses two public domain translations of the biblical text: the King James Version (KJV) and the Douay-Rheims Challoner (DRA). We have requested permission to use several liturgical translations, including the forthcoming updated NABRE (USA), the ESV-CE (UK), and the NRSV-CE (Canada).
