"To advance in our spiritual life, we should utilize all of the means,
methods, and practices that are at our disposal. Jesus calls all of us
to seriously pursue our own sanctification, as well as the
sanctification of the whole world. His words are clear and to the
point: 'Be holy as your heavenly Father is holy.' (Mt 5:48)
"A soldier must be well-armed and equipped; an athlete must be fit and
trim and prepared; a student must know the subject; married couples
must know and use the tools and means to form a noble and holy family.
In a parallel sense, if we truly want to be followers of Christ then we
must have the tools and arms at our disposal and use them so as to be
victorious. The victory is of paramount importance - the victory is
nothing less than attaining the salvation of our immortal soul for all
eternity. There is no greater endeavor or enterprise underneath the sun!"
In a recent commentary, Father Ed Broom, OMV, reflected on the value and importance of spiritual reading.
