Tradition and Sacred Scripture relationship

This week we continue on our faith enhancing journey and ponder the relationship between Tradition and Sacred Scripture.  The Compendium of the Catholic Church asks:

14. What is the relationship between Tradition and Sacred Scripture? (CCC: 80-82, 97)

Compendium states:

Tradition and Sacred Scripture are bound closely together and communicate one with the other.  Each of them makes present and fruitful in the Church the mystery of Christ.  They flow out of the divine well spring and together make up one sacred deposit of faith from which the Church derives her certainty about revelation.

What does this mean for me?

This means that the Church breathes with 2 lungs- Tradition and Sacred Scripture and that each are important as they work together.

Questions to consider:

1. How does tradition and Scripture communicate with one another?
2. How does tradition and Sacred Scripture make present and fruitful in the Church the mystery of Christ in my life?
3. What does 'sacred deposit of faith' mean to me?
