以虔誠來閱讀聖經將擁有天主

如果圖書館裡有一千本書，但缺少聖經，就什麼都沒有；沒有天主的人像是少了一切……可是當一個人以虔誠和熱情來閱讀聖經時，他將擁有天主，他將獲得永恆的幸福。(RSp, 79)

If in a library, there were even a thousand volumes and the Bible was missing, everything would be missing; how everything is lacking in man who does not have God… But when a soul reads the Bible, with devotion, with relish, he will have God with him and will earn a happy eternity (RSp, 79).
