I found that under the usual conditions, it was possible to offer a 30-minute reading from the Bible, either for a partial indulgence or, if linked to a Holy Communion, for a plenary indulgence.<br /><br />I have been in the habit, for many decades, of reading from the New Testament every day, and so I have concentrated on the Old Testament for this special work; in each case, of course, submitting my own understanding of what I read to the Church's interpretation.<br /><br />Amazingly, I have managed to achieve something I would never have had the drive to do otherwise: I have now read the entire Old Testament twice, and am nearly halfway through the third reading.<br /><br />The Holy Scriptures are a spring of wisdom and truth that wells up into one's consciousness in all circumstances of life. I thank God for the impulse that caused me to embark on this wonderful adventure.Dorothy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858061638961520926noreply@blogger.com
