Today, my "cloistered brothers" and I were discussing Questioning God, and Jeremiah's stuttering was mentioned. No one recalled anywhere in scripture where that was mentioned. We looked it up. Isaiah 28: 11: "For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people."
Father Radcliffe, in Questioning God, with Popko Lukas, mentions the stuttering of the poet, David Jones, in A..a...a Deus Domine. In this poem, Jones is looking for God. He needs God, much like a stutterer needs help. No one can rely in himself. We need help and divine help would be best.
