VATICAN CITY, OCT. 14, 2008 (Zenit.org).- One of the auditors at the world Synod of Bishops has suggested that Benedict XVI opens a blog to explain the word of God in an attractive way.
The proposal was made today by Agnes Lam, president of the Catholic Biblical Association of Hong Kong.
Among her suggestions to promote the word of God so that the faithful can come to know Christ, she included the blog proposal, bringing smiles from many of the bishops.
She invited «the Holy Father to open a multi-language blog to shepherd today’s world: [a] daily scriptural verse with [a] simple reflection, brief text and plentiful images.»
Lam also suggested other means for spreading knowledge of the Bible.
Above all, she recommended simple methods of meditation in a complex world. As examples, she suggested reciting verses of the Bible and lectio divina.
«Reading the Bible is like eating,» Lam said, «a homemade soup prepared with love and time is delicious, while fast food is tasteless.»
