Reading Plan for the Year

I will be posting within the week reflections on an odd variety of passages from Scripture and the catechism, so I think it is fair to give due warning. I am following, for this year, one of those "Read the Bible in a year" plans, including deuterocanonicals and the catechism. So do not be confused when tomorrow I post my reflections on some of Genesis, or the first twenty or so statements in the catechism.

The reading plan, for those interested, is:
