So, do you want me to tell you how we, who are illiterate, read the Scriptures?
After I’ve prayed for five or six hours, I then read the Scriptures, and for preference the Gospels.
I can assure you that my mind opens so much, I understand so clearly, that I’m overcome with emotion.
I put aside the book and am moved to tears for a long period of time…
