24. Having the status of Branch DOES Holy SCRIPTURE Twang IN THE Living being OF THE CHURCH?
(Comp 24) Holy Scripture gives pedestal and state to the life of the Minster. For the children of the Minster, it is a greatest of the reliance, chow for the soul and the fighting fit of the spiritual life. Holy Scripture is the soul of theology and of countrified preaching. The Psalmist says that it is "a hurricane lantern to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105). The Minster, fittingly, exhorts all to read Holy Scripture habitually as "dimness of the Scriptures is dimness of Christ" (Saint Jerome).
"In Interim"
(CCC 141) "The Minster has without fail admired the divine Scriptures as she admired the Body of the Noble" (DV 21): every one nourish and tenet the whole Christian life. "Your word is a hurricane lantern to my feet and a light to my path" (Ps 119:105; cf. Isa 50:4).
To make stronger and confirm
(CCC 131) "And such is the power and power of the Word of God that it can benefits the Minster as her pedestal and state and the children of the Minster as extremity for their reliance, chow for the soul, and a horizontal and outstanding fighting fit of spiritual life" (DV 21). As follows "lobby to Holy Scripture indigence to be open extroverted to the Christian affectionate" (DV 22). (CCC 132) "In this fashion, the study of the sacred page essential be the very soul of sacred theology. The ministry of the Word, too - countrified preaching, catechetics and all forms of Christian guidance, including which the liturgical reprimand essential usher snobbery of place - is healthily nourished and thrives in holiness put down the Word of Scripture" (DV 24).
On meditation
(CCC 133) The Minster "physically and scarcely exhorts all the Christian affectionate... to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by unending reading of the divine Scriptures. dimness of the Scriptures is dimness of Christ' (DV 25; cf. Phil 3:8 and St. Jerome, "Commentariorum in Isaiam libri xviii" prol.: PL 24, 17B).
