This wise gentleman, of Lithuanian descent, rented canoes in the Adirondacks and often dealt with evangelical Christians who tried to win him over by saying they had the Good Book. He replied that as a Catholic he not only had the Book but moreover frequently met the Author.

Naw...He eats him...Then after 20 minutes, the author is gone...Until the next meal which in many cases appears to be the next week, or maybe not for a full year...

But we on the other hand, are filled with the Author 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year...He hears our prayers and even prays for us when we don't know what to pray...

The 'wise' gentleman may have the 'good' book, but apparently he doesn't spend much time in it...

Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

You may claim that we have only the Holy Spirit while you have Jesus, let's not forget the Holy Spirit is God as well as Jesus being God...

And like I said, we have a third part of the Trinity 24/7 while you say you have a third part of the Trinity for about 20 minutes on Mass day...

Nope. Indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a Catholic teaching. I guess it's one Martin Luther decided to keep in the grocery cart. Although I have heard some kinds of Protestants criticize the concept as a "new age thing."

From the Catechism:

2781 [...] We give Him thanks for having revealed His name to us, for the gift of believing in it, and for the indwelling of His Presence in us.

***But we on the other hand, are filled with the Author 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year...He hears our prayers and even prays for us when we don’t know what to pray...***

You are? I assume from the last few posts that you are speaking of the Holy Spirit. Are you claiming that the Holy Spirit prays for you? Who does the Holy Spirit pray to? Would you please quote Scripture for me please?

***And like I said, we have a third part of the Trinity 24/7 ***

Say ‘ahhh’ and we’ll look for Him.
