I was cleaning out my Prayer Book the other afternoon and came across an index card that an old friend gave to me many years ago with a quote by Kathleen Norris from her book The Cloister Walk. See what you think.....
"The Liturgy of the Word is prayer. You pray the scriptures with, and for, the people assembled, and the words go out to them, touching them in ways only you can imagine. The words are all that matter, and you send them out as prayer, hoping to become invisible behind them."

True? How do the leaders of the Church lead those who read the scriptures to such a place of prayer?
