福音是基督之書，是最喜樂的救贖訊息

耶穌會拉比德神父（Cornelio A Lapide）說：福音是基督之書……，是最喜樂的救贖訊息。因此，閱讀或聆聽福音書，就是閱讀或聆聽天主之子的聲音。我們必須懷著敬畏之心去聆聽福音，如同聆聽耶穌基督本人一樣。（AE, 127）

Cornelius a Lapide says: «The Gospel is Christ’s book…; it is the most joyful message of the Redemption. For this reason, to read or to hear the Gospel is to listen to or to hear the very voice of the Son of God. The Gospel must be listened to with as much reverence as we would listen to Jesus Christ himself» (AE, 127).
