State super vias et videte et interrogate de semitis antiquis quae sit via bona et ambulate in ea et invenietis refrigerium animabus vestris

Speech And Inspiration


Et dixit Dominus ad me: Facilitatis est ad eloquenciam collaco, et hoc est: ecce dedi verba, id est, facilitatem enunciandi verba mea in ore tuo, ut os tuum sit instrumentum, Ego autem motor. Perge, Ego ero in ore tuo. Lingua mea calamus scribe. Spiritus est in hominibus et inspiracio altissimus dat intelligenciam. ideo dicitur Non vos estis qui loquimini sed Spiritus Patris vestri qui loquitur in vobis. Non vos estis loquentes, sed Spiritus Sanctus. An experimentum queritis eius qui in me loquitur Christus? Sapiencia aperuit os muti et linguam infancium fecit disertas.

Sanctus Albertus Magnus Super Jeremiam

And the Lord said to me: I have established the faculty of eloquence, which is: 'Behold I have given my words to you,' 1 that is, the ability to speak my words in your mouth, that your mouth be the instrument and I the power. 'Go, I shall be in your mouth.' 2 'My tongue is as the pen that writes.' 3 'The spirit is in men and the inspiration of the Most High gives understanding.' 4 'It is not you who speak but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.' 5 'You are not speaking but it is the Holy Spirit.' 6 'Since you seek a proof that it is Christ who speaks in me.' 7 'Wisdom has opened the mouth of the mute and it has made eloquent the tongues of infants.' 8
