Patrick Conleyby Patrick Conley

Fr. James Kubicki joins Patrick to discuss Praying with Scripture

  • (3:43) what are methods people use to pray with the Scripture?
  • What is the Divine Office?

(17:43) Break 1

  • What are the guidelines for reading the bible?
  • Brian – My practice of readings and writings and how I do it myself. I’ve kept them in a shoe box and aspire to organize them someday.
  • (28:56) Jeff – Over the years, I’ve heard what you’re talking about. Start with the Gospels. I’ve done that. What am I to gain, What am I supposed to learn? From there, where do you go?

(38:40) Break 2

  • Maria – Could you explain the 4-week cycle in the office? I know older Catholics that bring a Missal to Mass. How is that used. I’d like to try and use one.
  • What are more ways Pope Benedict helps us with praying with scripture?
  • (46:14) Bonnie – What has helped me with absorbing scripture, is watching The Chosen. It’s bringing it to life for me.
