“In reading holy books we receive many lights and divine calls. St. Jerome says that when we pray we speak to God; but when we read, God speaks to us. St. Ambrose says the same: ‘We address Him when we pray; we hear Him when we read.’ In prayer, God hears our petitions, but in reading we listen to His voice.”
