One might claim that catholic liturgy is heavily based on scripture. And in deed, e.g. the liturgy of the mass is full of direct and indirect quotes (or other allusions) from biblical texts.
Some of the more obvious ones are
> Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. (Direct quote from Joh 1,29)
or
> Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. (Mostly from Math 8,8)
A more indirect one might be
> The Lord be with you. -- And with your spirit. (The first part might be found similarly in several verses, such as Ruth 2,4; 1. Chr 22,11. The response might allude to 2. Tim 4,22)
My question is:
**Is there an annotated text of the liturgy of the mass (or at least the ordinarium) which gives all these direct and indirect quotes and maybe also the more indirect allusions from scripture?**
Since there is substantial overlap in the liturgic texts between the ordinary form of the mass and the traditional latin rite, an annotated text of the vetus ordo might also be helpful.
