"According to a saying of the Fathers, Sacred Scripture is written principally in the Church's heart rather than in documents and records, for the Church carries in her Tradition the living memorial of God's Word, and it is the Holy Spirit who gives her the spiritual interpretation of the Scripture ('according to the spiritual meaning which the Spirit grants to the Church')."
Catechism of the Catholic Church #113: "Secundum Patrum adagium, sacra Scriptura principalius est in corde Ecclesiae quam in materialibus instrumentis scripta. Ecclesia etenim in Traditione sua memoriam Verbi Dei fert viventem, eique Spiritus Sanctus spiritualem Scripturae praebet interpretationem (« ...secundum spiritalem sensum, quem Spiritus donat Ecclesiae »)." For the adage of the Fathers, "Cf Sanctus Hilarius Pictaviensis, Liber ad Constantium Imperatorem 9: CSEL 65, 204 (PL 10, 570); Sanctus Hieronymus, Commentarius in epistulam ad Galatas 1, 1, 11-12: PL 26, 347."
