With great conviction, Saint Joseph Allamano exhorted us: \u201cConsider the importance of the Sacred Scripture for us and for others!\u201d Everything is there; it is the Word of God, a living and warm word. And he recalled what St. Jerome said: \u201cNever let the Holy Bible fall from your hands, so that sleep may always surprise us with the book in our hands.\u201d The Sacred Scripture! The more you read, the more you study and the more you love it and delight in it. This is a school that never ends. Let us love the Holy Scripture very much, especially the Gospels and the letters of St. Paul. I want you to become fond of the Holy Scripture!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

These words introduce the eleventh reflection on the journey of preparation for the Centenary of the birth into heaven of Saint Giuseppe Allamano (16 February 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Word of God is nourishment for life, for prayer and for our daily journey, the principle of unification of the community in unity of thought, the inspiration for constant renewal and apostolic creativity. [\u2026]\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
