"Throughout the history of the Church, numerous saints have spoken of the need for knowledge of Scripture in order to grow in love for Christ. This is evident particularly in the Fathers of the Church. Saint Jerome, in his great love for the word of God, often wondered: 'How could one live without the knowledge of Scripture, by which we come to know Christ himself, who is the life of believers?'. He knew well that the Bible is the means 'by which God speaks daily to believers'. His advice to the Roman matron Leta about raising her daughter was this: 'Be sure that she studies a passage of Scripture each day... Prayer should follow reading, and reading follow prayer... so that in the place of jewellery and silk, she may love the divine books'."
-- Pope Benedict XVI in his apostolic exhortation Verbum Domini
