This article has the words

Members of religious communities should have recourse daily to the Holy Scriptures in order that, by reading and meditating on Holy Writ, they may learn "the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ"

Sadly, for many religious, as for many priests, the fire of love for the Scriptures is on "low flame"

Low flame Scripture love means a lot of other low flame loves...for ministry, for prayer etc

Jesus, please increase my love for the Scriptures.
Please put my heart on "high flame"
