There are many different possible answers. The Bible used for the readings in the Mass (in the United States) is the New American Bible. It is also one of the most affordable and usually includes a commentary. If you come from a background that used the King James Version and prefer the older style of language, you may prefer the Douay-Rheims translation. There are also numerous study Bibles put out by Ignatius Press and others. A Bible that is growing in popularity is the Revised Standard Version - Catholic Second Edition.

Where does it say in the Catholic Bible that baptism can be done by sprinkling?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is only a Bible, the Bible used by the Catholic Church is the entire New Testament and the entire Old Testament. The only thing that makes it a "Catholic" Bible is the guarantee in the front of it that it conforms to the Bible as accepted by the Church since the fourth century. And, no, nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about sprinkling for baptism.
Is the name Catholic Church Biblical?
.Catholic AnswerThe name "Catholic" came about before the Bible (New Testament) was written completely, and definitely before it was put together in the fourth century. The "Church" part is in the Bible, but not the word "Catholic." Members of the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, and then Pope Damasus and the Council of Rome ordered which books definitively made up the Canon of the New Testament. In other words, the Bible depends upon the Catholic Church, not the other way around. So, no, the words "Catholic Church" do not appear in the New Testament.
How many books are in the New Testament in a Catholic Bible?
