The saints, living readers of the Bible
The saints are great readers of the Bible. They not only read and meditated on it, but lived it to the fullest—sometimes even unto martyrdom. The section Saints VIA.bible highlights this profound link between the holy figures of the Church and the texts of Scripture.
Each saint has a favorite Word, a biblical book that shaped their spirituality, a verse that sums up their charism. Francis of Assisi and the Beatitudes, Thérèse of Lisieux and the Song of Songs, Ignatius of Loyola and the Synoptic Gospels: the Bible is also understood through those who embodied it.
The Saints section of via.Bible offers articles that intertwine the spiritual biography of a saint with the biblical texts that nourished their life. It provides a dual entry into the Word: through the text and through the witness.
A living sanctoral, rooted in Scripture, to pray with the Church of all times.
