The word of God is a light to the mind.
It enables us to know God and to love Him.

 
St. Lawrence of Brindisi, 16th century

In intimacy with God and in listening to his Word,
little by little we put aside our own way of thinking,
which is most often dictated by our closures,
by our prejudice and by our ambitions,
and we learn instead to ask the Lord: what is your desire?
What is your will? What pleases you?

 
Pope Francis, 21st Century

The sacred Scriptures are a letter from our Fatherland.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

From morning till night, every day of our lives,
flows the Word in which God seeks to dwell.

 
Servant of God, Madeleine Delbrel, 20th century

Within God's word are buried manifold treasures
so that each of us might grow rich in seeking them out.

 
St. Ephraem, 4th century

God's word is like that rock
which was struck open in the wilderness,
from which all were offered spiritual drink.

 
St. Ephraem, 4th century

Let the word of God penetrate deep
into the core of your soul and then flow out again
in your feelings and the way you behave;
because if you feed your soul well it will grow and rejoice.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

Listening to the word of God
should become a life-giving encounter…
the living word which questions, directs, and shapes our lives.

 
Bl. John Paul II, 20th century
