Anyone know what Bible version iBreviary uses?

[DrawNearToGod]

And if you don’t know that, could you tell me what version the four volume LOTH uses, because I believe they are the same. Thank you.

Hail Mary full of grace…

My 4-volume LOTH indicates that the texts of all Biblical Readings and Canticles (except the Gospel Canticle and the Canticle of the Lamb) are from the 1970 edition of the New American Bible. Psalm texts, except Psalm 95, are from the 1963 edition of the Grail Psalms.

Thanks. Do you know where the two non NAB canticles you mentioned are from? And where Psalm 95 is from?

Back to the original question, what about iBreviary? The English is really awkward in some places.

I’d like to see what others know about that. But, my priest uses it to fulfill his obligation so I assume it’s a exaxt copy of the physical books.(although I read once that some parts are shorter)
