- Knowing God's Word helps us better hear Him when He speaks to our hearts! This is Emily's favorite website for reading scripture.
- Remember, non-Catholic denominations often have removed books from the bible. This is one of the reasons the Church has not approved popular versions, for example, the King James Bible. Most Protestant denominations have 66 books, while we have all 73!
- Our favorite translations: Revised Standard Version, the New American Bible, and the Douay-Rheims.
- Also known as the CCC, the Catechism is a handy book that details what we believe as Catholics.
- There are four pillars: (1) the baptismal profession of faith, (2) the sacraments of faith, (3) the life of faith, and (4) the prayer of the believer. If you don't believe me, you can reference CCC 13-17!
- Note: The Bible is the #1 book, because it's literally the Word of God. If you'd like to know more, you can look at paragraphs 101-141.
- Did you know Mass is not just for Sunday? Every single day, there is Mass celebrated around the world, and no matter where you are in the world, these are the daily readings that are said. We encourage you to get to know His Word, and reflecting on these readings is a great way to do so!
- Before going to Mass on Sunday, try to read the readings ahead of time! Pull them up on your smart phone and read them so you know what to expect! That way, Mass is not the first and only place you hear the Word.
- This is a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to take the Bible seriously! The center was founded by Scott Hahn to promote the reading of Sacred Scripture in the Catholic Tradition. He is a professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville.
