“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 this Bible
I’m 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 I’d 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 “older” 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.
