“Scripture serves to nurture the life and charity of believers.”
In this week’s Wednesday audience, Pope Leo XIV continues his catechesis on ‘Dei Verbum,’ reflecting on Sacred Scripture as the privileged space for encounter with God, a place where we can come to know and love him.
Scripture is the Word of God in human words, intended to speak to us today, to touch our present lives with all their hopes and sufferings, and to enlighten our steps. This becomes possible only when we read and interpret sacred texts under the guidance of the same Spirit who inspired them.
“Let us thank the Lord because, in his goodness, he ensures our lives do not lack the essential nourishment of his Word, and let us pray that our words, and even more so our lives, do not obscure the love of God that is narrated in them.”
