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.
Kita gi awhag sa simbahan sa pagbasa
sa bibliya aron kita kang kristo makaila
Kay ingon pa ni saint jerome,
"ignorance of the scriptures is
ignorance of Christ"
Ang wala kabasa o walay kahibalo sa
bibliya walay kahbalo mahitungod kang
kristo
Of course, the readings in the mass can
be counted as hearing the word but it is
also good if we can read it on our own.
Aside from the whole bible - there are
available books in the stores on the
daily readings with a little reflection on
them to help us understand the word of
god (for example sambuhay, pandasal,
365 days with the lord, etc)
