I bought the volumes of the Lectionary, and I read the daily mass scriptures every day;
 
I am trying to work my way through the New Testament and I ***try ***to read three chapters daily. SOmetimes I, regretfully get lazy. One question about the poll, instead of a yes or no response, shouldn’t it have some numbers like once a week, twice a week, every day?
 
The question gives the wrong options.

“Do you read the Bible…Yes or No” WHAT?

I read my Bibles 4 to 5 times a week. I like my Douay-Rheims.
 
I read the Shorter Christian Prayer of the Divine office, which contains a lot of Scripture, twice a day. I have a morning devotional with my wife where we read the daily Mass readings. I prepare a liturgical Bible Study every week (found at the link below) that involves extensive reading and crossreferencing. Outside of Lent and Eastertide when I try to spend more time in reflection and prayer, I try to make it a point to be studying a particular book of the Bible at all times. I probably read more than an hour a day, I would guess.
 
How often do you read the bible? YES OR NO. Is it a yes or no question?

Everyday, by the way.

Just before going to bed at night, I read the scriptures that will be proclaimed in the liturgy the next day. I like for them to be the last thing in my mind as I fall to sleep. Hopefully, they are the first thing in my mind when I awake! When I’m not to tired, I try to look up in the CCC the paragraphs that refer to these scriptures also to see how the Church views the readings.

I try to memorize scripture a little at a time also. We have to change our passwords at work every 30 days. I base my password on a passage of scripture so that I have to recite that passage in my head each time I log onto the computer! This month I’m on Heb 12:1b - “…let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely…”

Detachment this month!

Love,
Rich
 
I read Scripture most days, usually in bed. Sometimes I read a lot, sometimes just a little bit.
 
You worded this pole weird. I read scripture about 15 minutes a day. On days when I go to Eucharistic adoration I read it about a half hour. In times of distress or uncertainty I have read it for hours.
 
I read the entire Bible three times a year, especially the Douay-Rheims version, and this year the N.A.B.
 
Kevin Waker will you pray for me? Please!

That is powerful.

Also, forgive me, but how does one start a new “thread”?
 
Oh, I forgot to answer the question.

I read the Holy Bible daily.

I read the writings of the saint daily, too. They always help me understand the Word of God.

now please give instructions on how to word questions for a poll, at least first think about it and what you want to say before plunging ahead.

lectio divina for at least half an hour after morning prayer, currently working through Acts.
