Using Your Bible's Parallel Text Annotations: Reminders

» weh - Reminders on the Use of Parallel texts

Father, yesterday I was just about to post my message on the text but a friend arrived and I had to close the computer. Now, when I opened it the message is nowhere to be found. Anyway... i just wanted to tell you that I'm learning a lot from your articles. Some insights may sound like reminders to me but your sharing encourages me to study Scriptures and/or use it often for my prayer. Though I am in a way doing this now in the very sporadic and unstructured way which I employ based on my mood and liking at the moment. I do read the readings of the day before I sleep and I try to dwell on the lines I like but that is all. Indeed, the study of the Scriptures is something laudable and can only be done with seriousness, devotion, dedication and love. In my case, I may have to content myself with reading your articles or I may have to revise my study priorities if ever I may decide to exchange profound thoughts with you on the subject that you cherish. By the way your article proves also one thing: that our Catholic faith is both based on tradition and on the Bible.
Again, thanks for the sharing. Carry on! Continue with the noteworthy task you have started but please try to have enough sleep. I noticed that you finished this article at dawn... you could have been a Trappist monk.

Always have a dream and keep a rainbow in your heart.

In response to message posted by weh:

What you are thinking of doing goes against everything that I have been saying here and the whole of the lectio divina tradition. But I understand what you are experiencing. The important thing is that you don't stop reading the Scriptures altogether. Only a few Catholics (and unfortunately not all religious) feel "at home" with the Scriptures. But perhaps that is why people like me should go on with the work we do, even when the fruits are difficult to see.
And Weh, instead of reading these articles, I'd prefer that you read the Bible.
Thank you for the visit.
