Roman Catholic AnswerThe entire Mass from the introductory greeting to the dismissal is taken from The Bible. In addition to the fixed parts of the Mass - entirely taken from the Bible, the first half of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Word, is based on the Jewish service and is built around three lengthy readings from the Bible, with a Psalm between the first two - usually the Old Testament, and the New Testament (other than the Gospels), followed by a Gospel reading. The readings for Sunday Mass are on a three year cycle and the readings for weekday Mass on are a two year cycle. At the end of the cycle you will have read nearly the entire Bible, certainly from every book in the Bible.
