Precepts and values situate us in life. If we compare our existence with a route or a road, we will find that there are moments of rest  and reflection and other moments when we want to abandon that path but our inner commitments will give meaning to our effort to continue. Every word reaffirms itself in the deep communion of prayer, in which we find its inner and outer implication . God is the light of the word and is the word itself. When we pray, we receive from God, the grace of his call and the word becomes life, faith, hope, charity and then, they are no longer dead letters but wonderful experiences to be lived and shared.
The Word of Life finds its birth and service in the path that is life but this is always through the communion that is only given by humility and prayer.
