They used to be expensive. Also depending upon where one lived it was at one time hard to find a Catholic edition. It still can be. You generally are not going to find Catholic editions at a Walmart or any other Christian bookstores. You have to go to a Catholic Book store.
Here's a great app for your android or iphone:
LAUDATE the #1 Catholic app!
Just a few of many features:
- complete text of both New American Bible and the Douay-Rheims edition;
- Daily Mass readings; Saint of the Day with bio of the Saint;
- Stations of the Cross in both prayable edition and podcasts
- Tons of prayers, chaplets, novenas
- A guide for Confession And lots more!
It's FREE, and also works with tablets! I love mine; it was recommended to me at a formation class about the Mass! There's so much more to it than I was able to mention, and is often updated... ENJOY! : )
