DEI VERBUM , 1965 |
All of the Church's teaching and preaching
must be nourished by and based on The Message
For in the Sacred Message,
our Heavenly Father
meets us with great love
and speaks tenderly with us
The Message is the support and energy of
the Church.
It gives energy to our faith.
It is food for our souls.
It is a pure and everlasting source of spiritual life
"Open my eyes, Lord,
that I may understand the beauty of your Word" (Psalm 119)
