"The Bible has an essential and indispensable role to play in Christian catechesis.
'Ignorance of the scriptures is ignorance of Christ.' Catechesis keeps ever in mind the vision of the Second Vatican Council: every Catholic reading, knowing, understanding, and loving the sacred scriptures. The Bible is not just a book to be read and studied. It contains God's word, which should be the object of our prayerful meditation. As a source of inspiration and spiritual nourishment, the Bible ought to be a constant companion."
