This is such a great Catholic Bible Study post! I’ve included something that is important to me–music! I love music! All types of music! In this Catholic Bible Study post, I’ve included a short playlist of praise and worship I like.
Don’t be put off by the term, “praise and worship” music! I know I used to be and now it’s honestly one of my favorite genres of music. I love having a playlist that I listen to when I’m reading or studying my Bible. No matter how quiet the volume, I still get a little bit here and there, and sometimes when I listen to it later, it takes me right back to that precious Bible study time with the Lord.
This Catholic Bible Study post also includes the beautiful prayer, the Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. For sometimes, I find it helpful to mix my prayers up, especially if it corresponds to something I’ve read or studied in my Bible quiet time.

He has stayed with me wherever I have gone.
Yes! I can say the same thing about God along with Jacob!
Bethel–“house of God”
Say what you will, and many people do not like Bethel Music. I am not one of those people. Here are some of my favorites:
I want you to be merciful; I don’t want your sacrifices.
God wants a contrite heart, not useless and meaningless sacrifices.
And his name will be the hope of all the world.
Ah, what would this world look and feel like if we all spoke the holy name of the Lord more, and reverently?

Make us, O Lord, to have a perpetual fear and love of Thy Holy Name, for Thou never failest to govern those whom Thou doest solidly establish in Thy love: Thou, Who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen.

Stephen Arabadjis says
To whom it may concern,
My name is Fr. Stephen Arabadjis. I am a member of the Society of St. Pius X. But I am in my 7th year of Sabbatical.
Therefore I was hoping your group could do a 54 day rosary novena for my intentions. But any prayers and sacrifices would be greatly appreciated. I know Our Lady will reward you generously for this.
In Our Lady,
Fr. Arabadjis
P.S. Thanking you in advance, since I don’t always get all my communications.
