“The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.”
—Saint Gregory the Great

Love the cover
I love the cover on this Bible. It's feels soft and yet seems like it will last. I bought a second one because I liked it so much.

Beautiful Bible
It even called the attention of my 5 y/o grand-daughter, who said "what a beautiful book" and asked me if she could look at it !

a constant companion
When I was 13 years of age, my mother had a copy of this version of Scripture that had belonged to her father. I was the first version of the scriptures that I read and it was the version used in the proclamation of the Word used in the Liturgy of the Mass at that time. The style, language and manner of presentation has great memory and meaning to me and I delight in reading and praying the same. This is very good reprinting of the Scripture of my childhood and is, perhaps, the best and truest translation of the Vulgate to date.
