Verbum Domini
#55 “the Church has honoured the word of God and the Eucharistic mystery with the same reverence
#56 For me, the Gospel is the Body of Christ; for me, the holy Scriptures are his teaching. And when he says: whoever does not eat my flesh and drink my blood (Jn 6:53), even though these words can also be understood of the [Eucharistic] Mystery, Christ’s body and blood are really the word of Scripture, God’s teaching. When we approach the [Eucharistic] Mystery, if a crumb falls to the ground we are troubled. Yet when we are listening to the word of God, and God’s Word and Christ’s flesh and blood are being poured into our ears yet we pay no heed, what great peril should we not feel?”. (a quotation from St Jerome)
#66 Rediscovering the centrality of God’s word in the life of the Church also means rediscovering a sense of recollection and inner repose.
#73. Along these lines the Synod called for a particular pastoral commitment to emphasizing the centrality of the word of God in the Church’s life, and recommended a greater “biblical apostolate”, not alongside other forms of pastoral work, but as a means of letting the Bible inspire all pastoral work”.
#124 I remind all Christians that our personal and communal relationship with God depends on our growing familiarity with the word of God
Homily of his Holiness Benedict xvi Conclusion of the 12th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops Sunday, 26 October 2008
At the same time I express my hope that the word will be ever more fully at the heart of every ecclesial activity
how can we live the love of God and our brothers without a living and intense contact with the Sacred Scriptures?
the Bible remains a living Book with the people its subject who read it. The people cannot exist without the Book, because in it they find their reason for being, their vocation and their identity
let us pray that from renewed listening to the Word of God, guided by the action of the Holy Spirit, an authentic renewal in the universal Church and in every Christian community may spring forth
Evangelii Gaudium
Evangelization demands familiarity with God’s word, which calls for dioceses, parishes and Catholic associations to provide for a serious, ongoing study of the Bible.
