READ THE BIBLE AND CATECHISM IN A YEAR Motivational and Sharing Group

I am looking forward to do this.I am a returning Catholic.I need so much help, I feel very overwhelmed about relearning and walking in the faith.It would be great to have a reading guide in The Bible, catechism and other helps.

Well, after read a few of the early post it is obvious that I am way behind. Is it possibe to start a new group; or are you all near finished and open to starting over (again)?

God bless you all. I love this idea. Where are you now? I shall I read; rather, what paragraphs?

Am humbled at how small we are by the flood

Day Three~
"By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat, Until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; For you are dirt, and to dirt you shall return." Gen. 3:19

"Salvation is the Lord's! Upon your people be your blessing!" Ps 3:9

The Visit of the Magi, The Flight to Egypt, The Massacre of the Infants and The Return from Egypt. Mt. 3

CCC " God transcends all creatures. We must therefore continually purify our language of everything in it that is limited, imagebound or imperfect, if we are not to confuse our image of God- "the inexpressible, the incomprehensible, the invisible, the ungraspable"'- with our human representations." (Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Anaphora) Our human words always fall short of the mystery of God.

Day Two~
"This one, at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh." Gen. 2:22

"...Happy are all who take refuge in him!" Ps. 2:12

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means God is with us." Mt 1:23

CCC I Believe~ He cannot live fully according to truth unless he freely acknowledges that love and entrusts himself to his creator. Vatican II GS
Cf. Acts 17:26-28

Day One ~

"God created man in his image;

in the divine image he created him;

male and female he created them.” Gen 1:27


True Happiness - “He is like a tree

planted near running water,

That yields its fruit in due season,

and whose leaves never fade.” Ps 1:3

The Genealogy of Jesus - “Thus the total number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen generations; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations; from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah, fourteen generations.” Mt 1:17

Compendium of the Catechism Ch. 1 and 2

Hi Everyone, I'm proud of my progress with this reading plan since I've begun using it again. It's the easiest one I've found. The first few times I read through it, I didn't read the CCC. But this time, I found myself enjoying reading it along with the Bible plan.

ElizabethCorbel, thank you. Greetings to all; boy am I behind in my readings but I'm catching up fast. My latest CCC fav quote is CCC 1179 "The whole earth is sacred and entrusted to the children of men."

I've enjoyed using this reading plan. It's the only one I've been able to stick with easily. All in all, I read through it completely through two or three times over the past few. My new approach is to just take one part of a reading at a time. For instance, I may just read the passage from Psalms, then cross it off on my chart. That way I can break the plan down as small as I need to.
