Just as a brief side-note, I wanted to say something about one of my main inspirations for this year-long Bible-reading journey.
Taken from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 133:
The Church "forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful. . . to learn 'the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ,' by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. 'Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.' "
I love this, especially the last part of the quote, which is from St. Jerome. "Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ." I feel that right now, the way God is calling me into a deeper relationship with Him is through the Scriptures.
And so, I'm calling on St. Jerome to pray for me and my fellow readers as we journey towards a deeper relationship with God through his Word.
St. Jerome, Pray for Us!
