We invite you to meditate upon one or more of these quotations of the saints about Scripture:

“The holy and inspired Scriptures are sufficient of themselves for the preaching of the Truth.” -- St. Athanasius

“The Bible is a letter from Almighty God to his creatures.” -- Pope St. Gregory the Great

“Reading the scriptures is a wonderful thing. The mind of the scriptures can never be exhausted. It is a well without a bottom.” -- St. John Chrysostom

“The whole series of the divine scriptures is interpreted in a fourfold way. In all holy books one should ascertain what everlasting truths are therein intimated, what deeds are narrated, what future events are foretold, and what commands or counsels are there contained.” -- The Venerable Bede

“Come to the Bible, not to study the history of God’s divine action, but to be its object; not to learn what it has achieved throughout the centuries and still does, but simply to be the subject of its operation.” -- Jean-Pierre de Caussade, S.J.
