”And such is the force and power of the
Word of God that it can serve the Church as her support and vigor, and the
children of the Church as strength for their faith, food for the soul, and a
pure and lasting fount of spiritual life."109 Hence
"access to Sacred Scripture ought to be open wide to the Christian
faithful."110 (Catechism
of the Catholic Church (CCC) Article 3;
nos 101 to 141)
·
"The
Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures as she venerated the Body of
the Lord" (Vatican II Dei Verbum 21):
both nourish and govern the whole Christian life.
·
"Your
word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Ps 119:105; cf. Is 50:4)
·
“Ignorance of
Scripture is ignorance of Christ!” insisted St. Jerome, a father and Doctor of
the Catholic Church
“Welcome to the Adventure! Your discovery of the Bible could be an
adventure that lasts your whole lifetime! Sound ridiculous? May be, but there
is an incredibly long line of people stretching for thousands of years who
would insist it is true”.
THANKS YOU
