I realize the question isn’t directed to me, but my answer would have to be - how could I?

First, there isn’t even daily Mass in my parish. There is either Mass or Morning Prayer, but only once a day and at a time I cannot attend. Even on Holy Days, when there are two Masses (the morning of the feast and the vigil the night before) I often find it impossible to be there. The parish I attend serves 5 towns, so it’s not like I can run up the street to a different church with Mass at a different time. And in other parts of the country (not to mention the world) people may not even have weekly Sunday Mass available. I am very grateful that I do have the opportunity to attend Mass every Sunday.

I do love Magnificat, which includes all the prayers and readings for Morning and Evening Prayer and for the Mass for every day, so that I can join with the Church at prayer wherever I may be.

Regardless, the Church tells us that we should read the Bible, and even attaches a plenary indulgence to it.

If you don’t read it, it’s your loss, and a very great one at that.

Heaven will allow NO stain or spot of sin into it… which is why Purgatory is the most logical thing in the wolrd… Purgatory is the mercy of God and the holiness of God…

Living in the south for 10 years is one thing that got me to learn to read the Bible. For myself and to defend my Catholic faith. 👍
