Abstract

By reading, listening to, meditating on, and praying with the Word of God, we will be molded and shaped by it, becoming obedient instruments to the point of becoming living witnesses of God before all people. Indeed, Scripture is the privileged place for the encounter between God and man. Abraham J. Heschel writes: "The Bible does not only speak of man's search for God, but also describes God's pursuit of man" (reference omitted). That is why Scripture can touch the deepest chords of our being and penetrate the most mysterious recesses of our lives. In those moments when we are silent, the Word of God surely brings us peace of soul and also leads us to the source of His salvation.
