In my early teens, someone jokingly told me that the letters of the word Bible could be an acronym — B.I.B.L.E. — for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. That lesson stayed with me. I understood that the Bible had eternal ramifications, but as I started reading it on my own, it became much more personal. My life with Jesus Christ grew daily as I discovered the truth behind St. Jerome’s maxim, “Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ” (Dei Verbum, Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, 25). 

For years, I’ve led bible studies in my parish for adults. They tell me why they come back year after year: By learning more about Scripture, they get more out of the Mass, and better understand God’s love for them.

Let’s help others get closer to Jesus by helping them get better acquainted and more familiar with God’s Word. It’s a great practice that will bear eternal fruit.
