instruct in justice, that the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every
good work.
Pt. III, Ch. III: (It is also honored) when we pay a religious attention to
the word of God, which announces to us His will; make it the subject of our
constant meditation; and strive by reading or hearing it, according to our
respective capacities and conditions of life, to become acquainted with it.
Catechism of the Catholic Church (1992)
No. 104:
In Sacred Scripture, the Church constantly finds her
nourishment and her strength, for she welcomes it not as a human word,
“but as what it really is, the word of God.” “In the sacred books, the Father
who is in heaven comes lovingly to meet his children, and talks with them.”
No. 105:
God is the author of Sacred Scripture. “The divinely
revealed realities, which are contained and presented in the text of Sacred
Scripture, have been written down under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.”
“For Holy Mother Church, relying on the faith of the
apostolic age, accepts as sacred and canonical the
books of the Old and the New Testaments, whole and
entire, with all their parts, on the grounds that, written
under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have
God as their author, and have been handed on as such
to the Church herself.”
No. 106:
God inspired the human authors of the sacred books. “To
compose the sacred books, God chose certain men who, all the while he
employed them in this task, made full use of their own faculties and powers
so that, though he acted in them and by them, it was as true authors that
they consigned to writing whatever he wanted written, and no more.”
