"THE LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 26:1)

"And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." — Clement, bishop of Rome

"I love truth," says he, "and not sects. I am sometimes a peripatetic, a stoic, or an academician, and often none of them; but—always a Christian. To philosophise is to love wisdom; and the true wisdom is Jesus Christ. Let us read the historians, the poets, and the philosophers; but let us have in our hearts the gospel of Jesus Christ, in which alone is perfect wisdom and perfect happiness." — Petrarch

S. Jerome's are worth a gander.

"The practice of the Church has always been the same, as is shown by the unanimous teaching of the Fathers, who were wont to hold as outside Catholic communion, and alien to the Church, whoever would recede in the least degree from any point of doctrine proposed by her authoritative magisterium" (Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, no.  9, June 29, 1896).

“Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time” (2 Peter 1:10).

I think a previous post of mine has a couple of suggestions.

I've been a convert to SSPX for almost 7 and a half years. I took a basic catechism class before I was baptized. I was always taught how important the bible is. Here's the thing...everytime I pick up the bible I get so discouraged because I really don't understand it. I have the Douay Rheims version. I have tried to "google" certain things from the bible, but get such different points of views...

Are there any study guides that go along with SSPX teachings? I'm sorry if this has been asked before...maybe you can direct me to the link. I just want to read parts of the bible and understand it.

Thanks!

I have trouble understanding Scripture either. And also, coming from a modernist environment, I was exposed to very bad exegesis. Now, I am very cautious and don't venture into reading Scripture by myself. Usually, I read small portions from the Scripture at each time and then the commentary of Fr. Lapide.

They can be consulted here:
http://www.catholicapologetics.info/scripture/newtestament/Lapide.htm

or bought here:
http://www.angeluspress.org/oscatalog/item/8284/commentary-on-the-four-gospels

It is very pricey and Angelus Press carry only the Commentary on The Four Gospels (there are commentary on some Epistles as well).

In fact, given that they are in the public domain,  I downloaded all volumes here:
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=commentary%20lapide
and here:
http://openlibrary.org/search?q=commentary+lapide

You can see for yourself that they are awesome (I strongly recommend the downloadable volumes).

Also, before Mass, I read the more succinct but  very good Church's Year (Father Goffine):
http://www.sspxasia.com/Documents/The_Church_Year/index.htm

For the Old Testament, you can consult here :

I like it. I think it is a very good Biblical commentary; it has the approbation of about 15 different bishops; it was released, I believe in its seventh edition around 1900-14 circa.

I would like to 2nd the recommendation for the Haydock's Bible Commentary.  It is a fantastic resource that I have used in my catechism lessons that I sell.

I have heard of the Navarre Bible Commentary though I don't know if it is recommendable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1889334596?tag=acatlif-20&camp=213381&creative=390973&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=1889334596&adid=0NTQK2QADGPP46NYWC6Q&
