At the centre of this reflection, a profound conviction: we are listeners of the Word. In what terms should the relations between the Bible and Morality be thought of? This text corresponds to a path that draws from the body of recent ecclesial reflection on the subject. In appreciating the manner in which the Holy Scriptures are related to moral normativity (for example the commandment “not to kill”), we seek to receive in this respect the teachings of Pope Francis in his Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii gaudium. But there is a biblical world beyond what is presented as prescriptive: an appropriate hermeneutic makes it possible to find indications of moral value in texts of very different genres; take for example Psalm 131 (130). Responsible for what we freely understand, we allow ourselves to be freed by the Word for a true change in life.
