I’ve just bought the Verbum 6 software and LOVE it. I was looking into buying the catena aurea in addition to my base package and realized it is too indepth for my level of biblical scholarship at this time.
However, while researching the catena aurea (which for those who aren’t familiar is one of St. Thomas Aquinas’s masterworks where he includes a quote from SEVERAL early church fathers for EVERY line of scripture in the gospels) I happened onto the below website and its associated press release.
It’s basically like a modern day Catena Aurea for ALL books of holy scripture for FREE. You can even download the ENTIRE contents of it to have for offline use on your home computer.
God bless everyone and productive assimilation of God’s word into each and everyone of our lives.
Happy Mother’s Day Mother Mary!

Vatican, Dec. 12, 2007 (CWNews.com) - The Vatican Congregation for the Clergy has unveiled a powerful new web site, linking Bible texts with commentary from the Church fathers, doctors of the Church, councils, catechisms, and other magisterial documents.
The Biblia Clerus site links each passage of the Bible-- Old and New Testaments– with commentary taken from a rich variety of sources. In an introductory note Cardinal Claudio Hummes, the prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, explains that the site provides “Sacred Scripture, its interpretation in light of Sacred Tradition and the teachings of the Magisterium, with appropriate theological commentary and exegesis.”
The sources of the commentary-- many of them provided in full on the site-- include the works of the apostolic fathers, saints, Popes, and councils. The site also provides links to the Code of Canon Law (and the Code for the Eastern Church), and to the catechisms of the Council of Trent, St. Pius X, and the 1997 edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Although designed for priests, the Biblia Clerus site is available to the general public. The entire contents of the site can be downloaded.

Thanks a lot. 
I’m really only half joking about that suggestion. I think it would be great to see Verbum level features and interaction available for the whole world right from the Vatican website. But, of course, more features, more polish, and more frequent updates takes a regular influx of cash.
