In the Life of the Church

Life of the Church, Sacred Scripture

The Word of God serves the Church as her "support and vigor" as strength for our faith, food for our souls, and purity for our spiritual life. 

The study of sacred scripture should be very soulful and deep in theology- this also includes pastoral preaching, catechetics and all Christian instruction. Liturgical homily should hold pride, hence it nourishes holiness. 

The Church continues to learn "the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ." Ignorance of the sacred scriptures is ignorance of Christ.
