The short answer is not really. As Catholics, we understand that Scripture's ultimate purpose is the Mass. Scripture leads us to the fount of life and life is found when we partake of the Eucharist.
The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life."

If you know how to celebrate Mass perfectly, you do not need anything else because (a) you are in perfect union with Christ, (b) you are a canonizable saint, and (c) most likely you are dead.
The purpose of your life and mine, the reason why we exist, why we study Scripture, why we hope, toil and go on, the reason why the world has not self-destructed and why human beings continue to have babies, the reason of all that is good and worthy of praise, and why we love and are loved, is the Mass.
