It is a general attitude that could be applied in many fields.<br />Personally, the main area where I applied it is the Bible, yes... so mainly the Lectio , but not only the lectio. I do read, meditate, pray, and prepare my courses with the Bible.<br />The apparent (but not real) holes in the Bible, the apparent contradictions, mysteries, in the Bible, New and Old Testament, always triggered my "curiosity", they sort of always reminded me that advice: how do you read us?<br />And the amazing thing is that in this journey, the Holy Spirit taught me exactly as He did with the Fathers of the Church (which is a confirmation). Open, open, open your mind, your vision, accept to be challenged by God, everyday, accept to change, even completely your way of seeing things. Think laterally, God does it...<br />The Holy Scriptures are full of Mysteries,.... it never stops... don't close the door to "new things", God always makes "new things"... pay attention to the way you listen, the way you hear things... be flexible... you'll be rewarded greatly... Mary is the best "caisse de résonnance" (resonance chamber), the best "symbolon" (the place that gathers the Whole, the Big Christ (Head and Body)), the best "place" to find the "new ways" of listening... she is the 'Good Earth' (Mt 13)... the only one... but she is Immense...<br />Happy, Amazing, Journey to you...Jean Khoury BSc MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067252673954376638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939981.post-77262762718808183432012-06-21T16:39:29.718+01:002012-06-21T16:39:29.718+01:00What can one do to increase to increase his/her ca...What can one do to increase to increase his/her capacity to hear?
