“In faith, there is enough light for those who want to believe
and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.”
Blaise Pascal
When we read the Bible, it is good to read the verses several times and reflect on them. Go through the different senses of our Scripture. Experience the joy and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
