Religion As A Hobby.
In this intercession of Our Lady the subject of making a hobby of religion is discussed. Refer also to the
'Personal Development' page.
The following are recommended:
1. Making a hobby of religion ( in general ).
2. Joining societies
dedicated to the corporal works of mercy.
3. Sociableness between laity and hierarchy.
4. Becoming active in the Church or parish.
Our
Lady also says in this intercession that she wants more people to be religious seekers. Religion as a hobby would be natural in this
situation.
Bible reading would naturally be considered. In this regard, when I was growing up, we were actually told ( as the
laity ), not to read the Bible. It was left to the interpretation of the hierarchy. This has since changed.
My own experience
is that we can come across a lot of difficulties reading the Bible and I am wondering will Our Lady clarify the issue. It could be
desirable to have a spiritual director, who is a priest, when reading the Bible or to read the Bible as part of a group, under the
direction of a priest or theologian.
Reading religious books, including good Mysticism, could also, naturally, form part of the
life of a religious hobbyist.
Remember, there is a special intercessionary blessing of Our Lady for anyone who reads carefully
through this entire website.
