“It certainly is not possible to comfort a soul unless it hears the Word of its God. But where in all the books is God’s Word except in Scripture? What are we doing by reading other books and letting this one lie? Other volumes may indeed trouble or kill us, but no other book than Scripture is able to comfort us. Scripture alone bears the title which St. Paul gives it, a ‘Book of Comfort’ which can sustain the soul in all tribulation so that it does not despair but keeps on hoping.”
