Contemplation is essential for understanding the deeper meaning of scripture. Scripture should be read on a regular basis as lectio divina with great dependence on the Spirit, who breathes through the sacred text. To give to scripture an absolute authority and the final moral voice in everything is a form of idolatry. It is to worship words rather than the God who inspired them.
