St. Peter tells us that we should always be ready to give an answer to anyone for the reason of the hope that is in us. It’s vital to “eat the Word”, for then the Word will be a source of rejoicing and we shall be able to impart divine truths to seekers.
Catholics do hear the Word at Mass and the priest usually expounds upon it in the homily, but there is no comparison to personal study.
