Biblical interpretation is not merely the art of understanding written texts and historical events, but a purely 'theological' and existential matter. It is not just an interpretative method, but an action, a movement of the healthy mind towards the knowledge and supervision of beings, ultimately concerning the ultimate knowledge, the truth of the personal God.

Patristic interpretation of Scripture always begins with heartfelt prayer to the Holy Spirit in order to enlighten the mind and "ignite" the heart of the reader so that they may detect the 'deposited' beauty, the divine power, and the ineffable energy that radiate from the words of Scripture. This unique adventure and life experience culminates in the glorification of the triune God who acts in the Universe and in history, even in periods of chaos, with wondrous great mysteries that truly "fill"-"inform" (=complete) and captivate the human existence that thirsts for words of truth and hope.
