This author of salvation, Christ, will men more fully know, more ardently love and faithfully imitate in proportion as they are more assiduously urged to know and meditate the Sacred Letters, especially the New Testament, for, as St. Jerome the Doctor of Stridon says: “To ignore the Scripture is to ignore Christ”; and again: “If there is anything in this life which sustains a wise man and induces him to maintain his serenity amidst the tribulations and adversities of the world, it is in the first place, I consider, the meditation and knowledge of the Scriptures. (Pius XII DIVINO AFFLANTE SPIRITU)
Thank you very much for the two beautiful pictures of Pope Pius XII: the “Doctor Optimus, Ecclesiae Sanctae Lumen, Divinae Legis Amator” (John XXIII).
Your welcome.
