Resource for Lectionary Readings

Digitonomy;:

but the lectionaries I examined online only cite copyrights by CCD and ICEL.

The hard copy versions have a string of copyright and acknowledgements.

Even if so, it would surprise me if the Vatican objected to anyone assembling such a cross-reference for educational or devotional purposes, unless he were trying to profit from it.

You are citing “fair use doctrine”, which is applicable only in the Untied States.

Europe has the concept of “moral rights”, which allows a content create and/or copyright holder to restrict the format, presentation,and similar things, of their material.

In both instances the profit motive,or lack thereof, is irrelevant.

Requesting permission is a straightforward, albeit time consuming process.

Yeah - that’s what I’m looking for. But for all the books of the Bible.
They have the Gospel of John done - only 71 more books to go.

Tell you what… I did it with the Catechism (see this too), I can do it with the Lectionary. Give me a day or so…

It’s half-done (link). I’ve loaded Sundays and feasts. I’m working on the weekday Lectionary now.

Holy cow! That is beautiful. It’s very fast; and it seems like it’s pretty smart, too. E.g., “Mark 1:16” returns Third Sunday Ordinary B, Mark 1:14-20, which is what one expects.

A great site just got better. Thanks, japhy.

That’s a nice script you’ve created there japhy!

I’m curious from a technical point-of-view. As it’s cgi, I assume that it’s perl. What, if anything, are you using as a database?

It is indeed Perl. There’s no real database behind it, just a text file that’s examined each time. It would do well to be a database… but I just haven’t put the effort into it. I’m not entirely sure what database support perlmonk.org has. Although it wouldn’t be hard to find out…

If you did not get the Bible to Lectionary reference, I got it here.

When Will It Be Read? Have you ever come across a Bible reading and wondered when it will be read as part of the Sunday Lectionary? Now you can find out!
We have it in two forms: one is a simple table, which gives a complete index of Bible passages and when they will be part of the Sunday Episcopal Lectionary.
The other is an Excel spreadsheet, which has the RCL, Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Methodist lectionaries keyed to Bible passages. Thanks to Jenee Woodard of textweek.com and Andee Zetterbaum.
