Dear Friends in ,

In my preaching and teaching, I urge all Catholics to read and study the regularly, and from those who accept that invitation, I often get this question: Which Bible should I use? Today I write to suggest three different books, each containing the same translation of Holy Scripture.

The Bible has been translated into English many times in the past five centuries, and each translation has its own advantages and disadvantages. The translation that I use for my own prayer and study is called the - Second Catholic Edition, and this is the text I recommend to others. Inside our eBulletin this week you’ll find ordering information on three different which contain this same translation, and if you are looking for a new Bible for your prayer and study, any of these would be a good choice.

The first book is published by Ignatius Press, and it is called simply The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition). This Bible contains a few notes on most pages to connect verses in one book to those of another, but it is not a study Bible. This text is primarily for personal reading and prayer, particularly lectio divina. Of special interest locally, the cover of this Bible is the art work of Christopher Pelicano, a parishioner of St Mary’s.

The second book is published by the Midwest Theological Forum in concert with Ignatius Press, and it is called The Bible (Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition). The Didache is an ancient catechetical text, and this publisher puts out a complete series of instructional books as part of their Didache series, of which this Bible is part. In addition to the Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition, this Bible also contains numerous commentaries from the of the , and it is a very useful text for study.

The third book is published by Ascension Press, and it is called the Great Adventure - Your Journey through the Bible (Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition). This text contains color coded tabs and timelines designed to help the reader connect the dots of salvation history, and there are also historical and theological essays scattered through this edition of the Bible to assist the reader in understanding the Sacred Page more deeply.

Any one of these three books would be a splendid resource for beginning your own study of Holy Scripture, and there are many other good translations available as well. The most important thing is not which tool you use but that you begin to read and pray with the written Word of God in the Bible. For Christians, of course, the texts of the are of greatest importance, but the New Testament is unintelligible without the Old, and so a well educated Christian must have some knowledge and understanding of the entirety of the Holy Bible. As Saint Augustine heard from the voice of a child at the time of his conversion: Take and read!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Today I ask you to give generously to the upcoming special collection in support of The Catholic University of America. Founded in 1887 as the research arm of the Church in the United States, the University has long played an important role in the Church. Graduates have gone on to excel in all areas of life, and current students are engaged in a wide variety of fields.

At this moment of crisis in our Church, Catholic University's role is even more important. The University has instituted an initiative called The Catholic Project as a way to bring and together to develop concrete solutions and restore trust. Its work is organized to achieve three overarching goals: prevention, remediation and understanding. The Catholic Project seeks to encourage and continue the call of the , which called for all the Church's members, not just the clergy, to use their gifts and talents to "contribute toward the renewal and building of the Church."

The Project aims to assure that no survivor of abuse is forgotten; that new measures of accountability for and new structures promoting lay leadership are proposed; and that law and models of diocesan governance and best practices are explored, accepted, and implemented.

Catholic University is known for producing both lay and religious leaders and is uniquely positioned to lead in this moment. The Catholic Project works in partnership with University and staff, as well as the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and other organizations to identify, develop, and disseminate best practices.

For more than 100 years, the national collection has supported these efforts. The collection is critical to a successful academic year for the entire university community. If the Church's role in shaping culture and society is important to you, and you want to support Catholic higher education and the future of the Church in America, I urge you to please make an investment in Catholic University. Thank you for your support.

In the Lord’s Peace,

Most Reverend Robert E. Guglielmone Bishop of Charleston
