By Fr. Ed Broom, OMV, Catholic Exchange - For followers of Christ, it should go without saying, that we should have an ardent desire to read the Bible, the Word of God. As well, we should strive to understand it, memorize key passages, and learn to live out the Word of God. The noble and virtuous actions that we perform are simply fruits of noble and holy thoughts arrived at through reading Holy Scripture, activated by the grace of God and put into action.
