THE FRESH MANNA OF JESUS CHRIST:
NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
Romans 10:17 shares with us that "faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ."
2 Timothy 3:16-17 encourages us to prepare ourselves with God’s Word, so that we can be equipped to do His will - rather than fulfill our own earthly desires- and know the difference between the two:
“All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”

FAITH DOCTRINE:CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I approved 25 June (1991) and the publication of which I today order by virtue of my Apostolic Authority, is a statement of the Church's faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church's Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith and thus a valid and legitimate instrument for ecclesial communion. May it serve the renewal to which the Holy Spirit ceaselessly calls the Church of God, the Body of Christ, on her pilgrimage to the undiminished light of the Kingdom!"
Pope John Paul II
