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).
