[Cronos]

I'm sure you mean to say that:

1. During mass, we read the Gospels, the OT and the epistles / Revelation each week.

2. This is read through, such that even if one does not read of their own accord, one still hears the ENTIRE Word of God read over the course of 3 years.

3. Then, this is repeated the next 3 years and onwards

4. In addition, many Catholics DO read the Bible on their own at home -- more should read it more, yes, but many do already read the Bible daily.

5. Finally, many who read do actually go out and LIVE the Word (ex. Mother's Teresa's Roses where they offer a hot bath and a hot meal to the poor living in the slums in Bombay and there are many laity run organisations as well)

6. The Church encourages us to read, hear and live The Word of God.

Yes! If only I could be so articulate. That is what I call an intelligent post.
