Catholic tradition has not encouraged the laity to explore the Scriptures on their own. Sunday readings and the accompanying homily were deemed sufficient. Since Vatican II, the attitude has changes. More people are reading and reflecting on the Scriptures in groups and alone. There are many resources available to help us.

Consider making an effort to use these resources and making time to reflect on the Scriptures. If you can, join with withers who are interested in reflecting on Scriptures. There is no particular order you must use but a good place to start might be Paul's letters to the Corinthians. Select what draws your attention and use a commentary too. -by S.T. Productions
