Please add the links to the Missal and the Liturgy of the Hours to the Lectionary Verbum resource so the home page has one stop shopping for the three major liturgical resources - Missal, lectionary, breviary

Expand Catholic Daily Readings (U.S. Lectionary) to serve as a more comprehensive "ordo" | Faithlife Feedback

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Not to be confused with Catholic Daily Readings.

    I added a question in the FeedBear link as well but this already has links to the Missal. Am I misunderstanding something?

    Our plan is to add links to Liturgy of the Hours after LOTH is ready.

    You're right that the Missal is already linked. Adding the LOTH is exactly what i want.  Sorry, I was thinking of what is in an ordo rather than what changes were needed. And for the precise, I know ordos contain diocesan priest information that there is no need for Fatihlife to even consider carrying

    Thanks for the clarification. I responded in the Feed Bear request as well. We're definitely aiming to add links to LOTH when LOTH is released.

    What about for the 'normal' Catholic Daily Readings?

    It would also be nice to have some other lectionaries. In the UK we have some different feasts and also some changes to Holy Days of Obligation (such as Epiphany and Ascension switching back to 6th Jan/Thursday of 6th week of Easter after being on the nearest Sunday for a number of years).

    I appreciate the main market for Verbum is the US but it would be nice if it were possible.

    For better or worse, there are 40 versions of the ordo just for the United states, as archdioceses and orders all have slight variations. It would be impossible for us to include the localizations necessary each year to give the Catholic Daily Readings the appropriate elements for a true ordo. 

    This is compounded even more when you go outside of the US and territories.

    This is true and is acknowledged above. What I, and I think others, were proposing  was the base ordo - International or US - on which all the localized (or "orderized" for specific religious orders) are based. We should all know it is imperfect ... but it gives a solid base from which we can start .

    As for other countries, if one starts with the universal calendar and marks the major feasts that are national as "UK only", "US and Mexico only", "Australian and New zealand only" ... and leave the sorting out of precedence which can change yearly out of the equation, I suspect a satisfactory solution could be found.
