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

The words spoken by Jesus
The words spoken by Jesus printed in red ink reminds the reader the true significance of what was read. I believe the word of God is relevant more so than ever to be translated from ancient text. I so love my edition I gave a copy to my grandson, and I will use this written word of God in my teaching. I will cherish this copy for all times.

True Bible
Love this Bible. The pages are thin, which is what I like in a Bible. Love this version. I was looking for one that hasnt changed words here and there. I would definitely recommend this Bible over any other.

A Bible to foster a mature and pure faith
The language is harder than other translations but I can make out what is being said. The Lord;s words are in red and so my eyes are more drawn to them. The Gospels are reverently named St. Matthew, St. Mark, etc. The footnotes support Catholic teaching. It is a Bible to foster a mature and pure faith. John Senior, in "The Thousand Good Books," recommends the Douay-Rheims Bible to Catholics: "Since spiritual mysteries can only be communicated through poetry, whatever more modern versions may gain in accuracy is nothing compared to what is lost."

I got this Douay-Rheims Bible
I got this Douay-Rheims Bible for myself and couldn;t be happier with this edition. The cover is beautiful, as are the illustrations and maps. The print is clear and easy to read, and It's nice having Jesus;s words printed in red. It's a great Bible and well worth having to read and enjoy. It's also one I;ll consider purchasing again to gift when the occasion arises.

Love this Bible
Im very happy with this Bible. I bought it to have a Douay-Rheims version on hand. The size is perfect and easy to hold. Font size is a bit smaller than Id prefer at my age but still very legible and I can easily use a magnifying glass if it comes to that. The words of Jesus are in red, another positive feature for me. I love the extras such as the beautiful art and the list of all the popes at the back (through Benedict XVI). Reading this Bible in the olderù language, accompanied by the extra reference material included, really brings out the beauty of the tradition, history, and most of all Truth in the Catholic Church.
