Praying with Scripture

When we pray with Scripture,
prayer becomes a conversation with God:
He speaks to us through His Word,
and we listen and respond.

In Bible study, it's helpful to read the same passage in various Bible translations.

Note: The Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (RSVCE) is the Bible version used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and The New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) is the closest translation to that currently used for Mass. A revision of the NABRE is coming out soon called The Catholic Amerian Bible (CAB). This translation will be used in the Mass and is also intended for study, catechesis, and personal devotion.

The Catholic American Bible (CAB) establishes a unified Scripture text approved for:

Proclamation at Mass, in a forthcoming new Lectionary
The Liturgy of the Hours, in the upcoming Second Edition
Private prayer and study, in editions available beginning Ash Wednesday, February 10, 2027
