In October 2008, bishops from all over the world came to Rome for a Synod on the Word of God. Two years later, the Pope issued the apostolic exhortation "Verbum Domini" with his personal reflections on the Synod of Bishop's conclusions.
Benedict XVI stresses the need to read and interpret the Sacred Scriptures in accord with the "mind of the Church," and points to the importance of the saints in this regard: "Every saint is like a ray of light streaming forth from the word of God . . . holiness in the Church constitutes an interpretation of Scripture which cannot be overlooked. The Holy Spirit who inspired the sacred authors is the same Spirit who impels the saints to offer their lives for the Gospel.
TAKE AND READ!
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth (Jn 1:14). All the greatness of God has been concentrated in a new-born child. God has spoken to us. He has sent us his Word; he has addressed each one of us. But his glory doesn’t dazzle us; his Word is simple, humble, discreet. Those who don’t want to hear Him have no need to cover their ears, only those who freely wish to welcome Him will find Him.
DAILY MEDITATIONS
The Church encourages all Catholics to meditate in prayer. A classic example is the rosary, where we reflect on events in the lives of Jesus and Mary, considering them in relation to our own spiritual journey. Daily meditations come with ideas and/or texts, and/or sounds to support our mental prayer, inviting us to pause and converse with God each day. The important thing is to meditate on the things that bring us closer to the Lord, like the mysteries of the rosary.
