The Catechism on Sacred Scripture - Section 127

127 The fourfold Gospel [see section 126, par. 3] holds a unique place in the Church, as is evident both in the veneration which the liturgy accords it and in the surpassing attraction it has exercised on the saints at all times:

There is no doctrine which could be better, more precious and more splendid than the text of the Gospel. Behold and retain what our Lord and Master, Christ, has taught by his words and accomplished by his deeds.¹⁰²

  But above all it's the gospels that occupy my mind when I'm at prayer; my poor soul has so many needs, and yet this is the one thing needful. I'm always finding fresh lights there; hidden meanings which had meant nothing to me hitherto.¹⁰³ 102 St. Caesaria the Younger to St. Richildis and St. Radegunde, SCh 345, 480. 103 St. Thérèse of Lisieux, ms. autob. A 83v.
