“we don’t read the bible to finish, we read the bible to change” was a proverb dropped frequently at a youth camp. Sound counsel then and sound counsel now.

Made it a habit to read the days Mass readings for morning prayer. Problem is I always want to read the context and the commentaries to the verses, but then I have to go to work.

In general, I can highly recommend reading the commentaries of the pre-Jerome church fathers, and all the councils that went into compiling the good book. Some of the apocrypha are also worth reading, but not without serious counsel. Some of those books got tossed from the canon for a good reason.

We Catholics get a bad rap, but many of us do read the Good Book. At minimum, we are expected to pre-read the Mass readings in advance, either the day before or that morning. If you do this and don’t miss Mass, you will read the whole book in 3 years. Unfortunately, there are a lot of lukewarm Caths who don’t even do that, and they paint a negative picture on the rest.

Below is the intro to a project Fr. Schmitz started a while back, where he walks you through the Bible in a year, with commentary. Videos are approx. 20 minutes apiece, so one could easily fit it in your brower-crash laden schedule.
