quote - Hillary of Poitiers - the relationship between the Church and the Divine word of God


St Hillary was the Bishop of Poitiers, France in the 4th Century and was named a Doctor of the Church.  His feast day is 13 February.  I love this quote of his, because it shows that there is an intrinsic relationship between the Church and the Word of God.  

Quote - “The Church is the ship outside which it is impossible to understand the Divine Word, for Jesus spoke from the boat to the people gathered on the shore.”
