When I made my First Communion my grandma gave me a little Missal with prayers and Bible stories in it. Then when I was about twelve my mother gave me a full Bible, but geared towards children. I bought a King James from Barnes and Noble when I was fifteen, and a Douay-Rheims in college. I just bought a Knox translation which arrived today, and that got me thinking about religious education in general and the progression to a real Bible in particular. I also have The Catholic Bible in Pictures, which I really enjoy.
My Lord and my God.

I had a bible history book for children (I really did not like the illustrations); then when I was a teenager I bought a Duay New Testament; I bought a full Duay bible from TAN when I was in my twenties; but didn't get around to reading the whole bible until I was in my 40's or 50's.
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers
