Why do we bother to study the scripture.
St. Paul says to Timothy, "Always be ready to give a reason for your hope." We study in order to draw closer to Jesus and so that we will be ready to draw others to him.
I have begun reading a book of Mother Teresa's letters. I look at her gift of herself to God and I am afraid to give so much. However, it is only in the gift of self to God that we find our true happiness and joy. The more she gave herself the more she was infused with his love and became the light of Christ. That can occur in our own souls if turn ourselves over to God more fully.
