Introduction:
The latest Canadian edition of the Lectionary is based on the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) translation of the Bible, while the U.S. editions of the Lectionary are based on the NAB (New American Bible) translation. Thus for many readings (esp. the Psalms), the exact verse numbers differ for what are substantially the same readings.More substantial differences occur in the actual text of many readings because the Canadian lectionary often includes additional verses that go beyond the ones prescribed in the Roman Missal. The ++ or ++ in the tables below indicates scriptural passages explicitly marked in the published editions of the Canadian Lectionary as being somewhat different from the prescribed readings.
Official Title: Lectionary: Sundays and Solemnities. Ottawa: Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1992.
