Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today’s article: more on the Bible.
The last time I wrote about the Bible I mentioned that
though the Bible is without error, a person’s
interpretation can contain error. Here are some
principles of interpretation that help to avoid error.
1. Look at the verse in its context. Often reading the
verses before and after can help us to understand what
a particular verse means. But we may also need to
look at a verse in its whole context in the Bible. Is it in
the Old Testament? New Testament?
2. Ask “What did the author intend?” (human author
as well as its Divine author) Was the book intended to
be a history? Or was it intended to teach spiritual
truths?
3. Realize that Tradition, Scripture and the
Magisterium (teaching office of the church) are so
connected and associated that not one of them can
stand without the others. (Just like a table with three
legs.) Because of this, interpretation should not
contradict the others.
Authentic interpretation of the Word of God is
entrusted to the teaching office of the Church
(Magisterium) so if there is any question of
interpretation, find out if the church has said anything
about the passage.
In Christ,
Fr. Dan

CLUSTER NEWS
Stewardship Note
In today’s Gospel, Jesus had planned to
slip away from the crowds for a few
moments of peace and a little rest. When
He saw the people gathered, however,
He put His needs aside to meet the needs
of others. Sometimes, as good stewards,
we are called to do the same.
SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT
We are grateful to all our sponsors who
advertise on the back of the bulletin,
allowing us to receive the bulletin free of
charge to our parishes. A special thank you
to The Point, Tavern and Eatery.
