How to know when a particular verse of the Bible have been or will be part of the Liturgy of the Word? (Catholic)

Accepted answer

The German Liturgic Institute has a website with an index of all pericopes printed in one of the eight volumes of the German lectionary (ordinary rite). It has sites for each biblical book with the pericopes, the day when it is read and volume with site where it is printed (e.g. Num "11,4b-15; Mo 18. Wo. JK I; VI 3"). Everything is in German, but I think you can deal with it.

When the found liturgical day will be next time in the real world, you have to look up by yourself. There are also pericopes that are only read at special occasion (e.g. Num 3,5-9 at the consecration of a deacon).

Divinum Officium (GitHub repository), written in Perl, can do this. It contains data files for the Mass in several languages. Bible verses begin with a "!" (e.g., "!Num 17:8"), so you can easily search those files for verses. Divinum Officium generates a liturgical calendar, too.
