St. Isidore:
 “When when we pray we talk to God, when we read the Word of God, God talks to us.” 
I recall trying to use a radio to communicate with a young nephew sometime ago. He got frustrated trying to talk to me because he could not get the hang of pushing the orange call button to talk to me or releasing the button to hear me answer. He finally just dropped the radio on the ground and started to walk away. It was only then that he could hear me talking to him. We eventually got it figured out and spent the better part of day playing hide and seek with the radios. His behavior reminds me of myself. I can't hear the response of God if I don't let go of the button so I can get out of send mode and get into recieve mode. You can't do lectio Divina if you have the send button pushed. You have to be still and listen to word as you read it.
