If you go to Mass every day for 3 years, you will get MOST of the Bible read in the Epistles and the Gospels.
Hope this helps.
If you go to Mass every day for 3 years, you will get MOST of the Bible read in the Epistles and the Gospels.
"Most of the Bible" is not quite the number that I arrived at, but yes, you are getting a decent amount. I readily confirm that you are getting MOST of the New Testament in the Epistles and the Gospels, though!
I, for one, read a Chapter every morning, go to Mass everyday where I hear the Gospel and sometimes it's the same I read that morning!
Now you say this
I'll explain more deeply......at Mass on Sunday (weekdays just have one Epistle reading, Sunday has 2 Readings PLUS a Psalm and of course the Gospel)...the Epitsle is a Bible reading but NOT the words of Jesus....can be OT or NT....the Gospel is the Bible readings that are the Words of Jesus. So it's 2 Epistles and 1 Psalm and 1 Gospel Reading every Sunday. If you go to Mass every day for 3 years, you will get MOST of the Bible read in the Epistles and the Gospels.
Not many people go to daily mass..those that only go on Sundays get less that 1/7 of the bible a year..
You said the epistles are not the "words" of Jesus
Aren't the epistles the word of God?
I do not believe there are 2 epistles read.. there is an OT reading, a psalm (or a part of one ) , a NT reading and then a reading from the gospel (it is not 2 epistles) ,as I am sure you know as a daily bible reader..
