Holy Scripture
The word of God is
food for the soul. The word of God is both strength and light for the soul....
All the saints emphasized the necessity of reading the Holy Scriptures. St.
Seraphim of Sarov says: 'The soul must keep itself nourished with the word of
God; because the word of God is, as St. Gregory the Theologian says, the bread
of angels that feeds the soul that is hungry for God. Most of all we must read
the New Testament and the Psalms. The understanding is enlightened by these. It
is a very good thing to read the word of God in solitude, and to read the
entire Bible with understanding. God gives a man His mercy for undertaking this
exercise more than for other good deeds, and He fills him with the gift of
comprehension. When a man nourishes his soul with the word of God, then he is
filled with the understanding of good and evil. '
