if we go to mass for a year, will we hear the entire gospel?

Question

just wondered this...... please give correct answers not your opinions.

Answer 1

The Catholic lectionary has a three-year Sunday cycle and a two year weekday cycle. The Sunday cycles emphasize different gospels each year (Matthew in year A, Mark/John in year B, Luke in year C). Old Testament readings are selected to harmonize with the gospel reading of the day. But even if you went to Mass every day for three years, you would not hear the entirety of every gospel. There are some parts that don't quite fit into the space of a reading, requiring more context than would be practical. There are even a few bits that aren't that interesting. But you would get a pretty good sampling.

A good, comprehensive list of the Catholic lectionary readings can be found here: http://catholic-resources.org/Lectionary/index.html

Answer 2

I was for most of my early life attending mass and it was all in latin so no one would/could understand it. It was no sermons. Just plain rituals. Just as they banned the Bible once, so they do not like to preach the Gospels to much or the popularity with the world would diminish fast. The bigger the church, the more worldly and sinful it must be. Wordliness is enmity with GOD. Soon as I learned to study the Word of God for myself prayerfully,
I could no longer remain with Rome. The difference is too great!

Answer 3

Hmmmmm, interesting question.

The bible is about 80 hours of reading time.

I know very little about Mass, but if it is once a week. It would happen 52 times a year.

That would mean they would have to read 1.5 hours of bible text every mass. Assuming they never repeat the same verses.

If Mass was twice a week they would have to spend 45 minutes reading bible text assuming no repetition.

If Mass was three times a week they would have to spend 30 minutes reading bible text assuming no repetition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I just noticed that it said the entire gospel instead of entire bible.

Assuming Gospel means New Testament, then it probably takes about 20 reading hours to read it. Lets factor in repetition this time, assuming repetition makes it take twice as long to cover the entire NT.

Mass once per week: without repetition 23 min, with 46 min
Mass twice per week: without repetition 11.5 min, with 23 min
Mass three per week: without repetition 5.75 min, with 11.5 min

Answer 4

I understand you are looking to find the truth.No need to go for mass to find it.You can do yourself alone.How?There are different ways.I tell you one:Prophet Abraham watched at night
the sky and saw a big star and thought this is a God.After He saw
the moon and changed His mind.Ä°n the morning sun rised and said this is real God.But evening the sun sets and He decided
God is big power and ruling all of this.After that time He prayed to only creator God.

Answer 5

I would have to say no because I do not think the Catholics preach barely anything from the HOLY BIBLE. Could be wrong but I am not Catholic and never will be. Christianity is the only way for me. Even here I could go to church my entire life and never hear it all. I can read it all though.

Answer 6

Here is a site you can go to in order to see what parts of the New Testament and Old Testament are read on which days of the year in common, Catholic, and Episcopal churches.

It will answer your question.

Answer 7

Why not pick up the Good Book for yourself and read it throughout the year?

Makes more sense doesnt it?

Answer 8

No, I don't ever remember them reading from Numbers or Leviticus. Much less Revelations.

Answer 9

No, you will hear "another gospel"

Answer 10

Not even close.
