“Reading the holy Scriptures confers two benefits. It trains the mind to understand them; it turns [people’s] attention from the follies of the world and leads [them] to the love of God. Two kinds of study are called for here.
We must first learn how the Scriptures are to be understood, and then see how to expound them with profit and in a manner worthy of them . . .
No one can understand holy Scripture without constant reading . . .
The more you devote yourself to the study of the sacred utterances, the richer will be your understanding of them, just as the more the soil is tilled, the richer the harvest.”
[St. Isidore of Seville, p. 201, Witness of the Saints]
Spend some time studying the scriptures; what the intended audience understood form them and then apply the message of the Scriptures to your life. If you have any questions, doubts or concerns check with your priests, deacons or scripture teacher for clarifications.
May God Bless you through The Word.
Amen.
