How Oten Do You Read The Bible?

[AMDG3141]

I put “Whenever I get a moment”. I have a crazy work schedule, but I have a copy of “e-Sword” (e-sword.net) that let’s me read the bible on my computer even if I don’t have an internet connection. I don’t want to sound like a commercial for these guys, but I really do love the product, and the price is right (free). I have the Latin Vulgate, Douay Rheims, and King James Versions. I’ve looked at several of the DR passages, and the match perfectly with my DR Bible. I’m not sure how error free it is though…

My iPaq downloads the daily mass readings as well. I also get “One Bread One Body” which has daily readings and commentaries taken from the bible.

I read the Mass readings for every day, so that definitely means I read the Bible every day.

I also try to do some additional reading every day. It’s usally from the Bible, although occasionally it’s not. Right now I’m reading some homilies of St. Peter Chrysologus, and I’m reading the Gospels he gave the homilies on with them. I also am going through Jeremiah (trying to get through the prophets and then go back and do historical books) and Job (just felt like I needed to read it). What I do on any given day depends on how I feel, but I always make sure to get the Mass readings in.

I also try not to take verses out of context, but sometimes I end up doing it, not for the purpose of misleading anyone, but just because a verse or part of a verse strikes me, and even if it doesn’t make sense in context, it helps me to think about that particular section. I do keep in mind the context, though, when I do this.
