Ex Cathedra

One of the most stressful parts of my job is when I’m supposed to speak for God. I have to make sure that what I’m saying is not only Biblically correct, but also grammatically correct.

This gets especially tough for me when I have to speak for God in Spanish. I can never remember the genders of the nouns. I need to get a pocket translator.

Isn't God speaking THROUGH you? I wouldn't think that He'd have a problem with noun genders.

Most Holy Father,

You are not alone. I too have trouble speaking for the Almighty despite my attempts to do it on a daily basis.

Your Servant,

You must speak for God, for God has no tongue.
