Catholics Read the Bible

Our Catholic Practice for the year is reading the bible.  Pope Francis encourages us to “Take It, Carry It with you and read it every day: it is Jesus Himself who is speaking to you…” 

The Gospel of St. Mark moves quickly and you get a sense of the action in the story of Jesus’ life. 

Right away.     Come.     Get up.     Let’s Go.     Now.     Be still.     

So, in the spirit of Mark’s Gospel:  “Let’s Go !”    “Let’s start reading !”    Start with Chapter 1, read with an open heart asking the Holy Spirit to speak to you.  A few verses may be read at a time but the important thing is to read it.
