If we want to talk with the pastor, we usually have to go chasing after him. If we want to talk to the bishop, we have to make an appointment. If we want to talk to the pope, well, we have to pull a few strings. But if we want to talk to almighty God, we can just sit down and open our Bible and there he is, ready to talk with us! We are indeed privileged: whenever we want, we can sit with our Lord!:love:

? :confused: ?

When I talk, I speak. If I read the Bible I am reading what God said. That’s not me talking to God, it’s me reading what He said, or did. I see talking to God in prayer.

Pennington’s main idea is that God is always with us in Word. We are greatly privileged!

Better yet, God is with us and in us through the Eucharist.
