Mormons love to mark all over their scriptures. They like to use highlighters and red pencils, and even sell guides that help you draw neat lines underneath the scriptures you’re trying to highlight. I even had a set of scripture stickers that put pretty colored pictures on key pages of my Quad.

So why is it so hard for me to mark in my nice, pristine Catholic Bible and missal? Am I afraid I’m going to break it?

What I really want is a Sticker set, but for the Latin missal. I want there to be stickers for Stand, Kneel, Sit, Genuflect, Audible Priest, Respond here, etc. So I’ll have a nice, pretty Missal, without lots of scribbles. But with the notes I need. I tried to make some yesterday, but my printer is out of Magenta, so everything came out an odd shade of blue. I’m thinking I’ll bring a pad of Post-it notes and make notes where I should put stickers, and then make some custom labels after I get a new ink cartridge for my computer at home.

But all of my Mormon scriptures are scribbled like crazy, especially my old Seminary scriptures (which I still have btw). If I scribbled on it, I knew I had studied it. I often put notes in the binder.

It just occured to me that I would have no idea how to “scripture study” as a Catholic.
