10 Principles for Reading Scripture from Benedict XVI
After reading through Benedict XVI's post-synodal apostolic exhortation on the word of God in the life and mission of the Church, Verbum Domini, these ten principles stood out to me as important for approaching and interpreting scripture. I thought I would share them here with you in a video.
I separated them into four categories:
(A) The why behind approaching and reading scripture,
3:08 1. The faithful reading of scripture is an ongoing dialogue of love.
3:53 2. The word of God is where all man's desires will be illuminated, purified, and brought to fulfillment.
(B) the method for interpreting and reading scripture,
5:12 3. Call upon the Holy Spirit. "There is no authentic understanding of Christian revelation apart from the activity of the Paraclete" (15).
5:35 4. Read the Bible with faith and reason.
6:45 5. Rely on the living Tradition of the Church to interpret scripture
7:25 6. Walk with Jesus and have your eyes opened in the breaking of the bread.
(C ) the exemplars to imitate, and
9:15 7. Imitate the Blessed Virgin Mary's fiat and life.
10:44 8. Read and interpret scripture through the example of the saints who have truly lived the word of God and been transformed by it.
(D) the mission that comes from reading scripture.
11:25 9. Read scripture with a sense of responsibility
12:54 10. Read the scriptures to illumine the darkness.
Hopefully, this video gave you a desire to read more scripture, especially the gospels.
Praised be Jesus Christ!

    Hello Jerome! I have following your videos for a few weeks. You mine surprised, because I am a 72 year old Christian woman and I am presently on a serious spiritual journey towards the Catholic faith, but I am presently a baptized Eastern Orthodox, 20 years. I have not been content in the church and, the reason I am in search. I have been following the Catholic Church for 2 years now, and love it. I have been praying night time prayers with you in the Liturgy of hours, and am so blessed. Is there any chance you will start a morning prayer time that we could pray with you too. Thank you for sharing your life, possibly following into the Priesthood. I am praying for you Jerome!😊

      @JeromeMontpetit Před 6 měsíci

      Thank you for your message! I appreciate the encouragement. Nice to hear you having been praying along for the night prayers. As of now I have not planned to do the morning prayers in a video. There is a monthly/yearly cycle with those so it is harder to do a series of them. I like to follow “Sing the Hours” for the morning and evening prayers each day. A guy named Paul Rose creates them and has them available on CZcams or podcast. They are well done and helpful to learn to chant and pray in Latin a bit as well. Just look up “Sing the Hours.” Blessings as you continue your journey with Christ. Thank you for the support.

    Thank you, Jerome. This is a great video of encouragement. All of us men should discern the priesthood since we should all be trying to do His will. Further, you are right. We make time for our loved ones, so if we love Christ, we should be making time to be with Him. It's a tough question, but how can someone ever say they love Christ if they do not sit with Him? I look forward to watching this series.

    Jerome, this video was extremely well done. May God bless you. I'm a student in college who feels really conflicted about this question. I've been seriously thinking about the priesthood for a little under a year. At the same time, pretty recently I've become more interested in one of the girls at my school's Newman Center. I feel stuck. I'm in deep at college that I cannot see myself leaving. I just became co-president of our Newman Center, the track I'm on with my major will be very difficult to find again at an affordable price if I was to leave and then return later, and my parents are paying. Additionally, I will be saving no time by leaving college but rather adding on because I'll have to do all four years of seminary college. I've already been here for a year and a half. I've thought a lot about that clarity in a romantic relationship that you say discerning out of the priesthood would bring. Particularly, I'm trying to figure out how to best use my years here at school. If I date, this question of the priesthood will be on my mind, and I'm not sure that's a fair position to put any girl I truly care for in. On the other hand, I'm here at college for three and a half more years (5 year program) and there are opportunities to meet God-seeking women my age here that I may not have later in life (if I was to discern at seminary only to find out I wasn't really called to the priesthood). To put it more succicintly, if I knew for sure I was called to the priesthood, I'd go through my college program single, joyfully awaiting seminary. But I'm scared that I'm not called in the first place, and then I'll be "wasting" these years where I'm in a place that's particularly well suited to discern marriage. Finally - I love the train bedsheets. As a railfan myself (just look at my profile picture!) that was a very interesting to see. This video is very timely and I'll be thinking about it for a while. Thank you. I'll be praying for you.
