LISTEN

Saturday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time Year C Mark 9:2-13 “This is my beloved Son, Listen to Him.” This is our call not only today but every day. We are deeply challenged to listen to the voice of God. Our world nowadays is very noisy: so much voices to listen to. Friends, do not let the voice of the world keep us from hearing the voice of God. What I am trying to tell you folks is this: to hear God’s voice, we must turn down the world’s volume. Proverbs 3:6 says “Listen for God’s voice in everything you do and everywhere you go; He is the one that will keep you on track.” The quieter we become, the more we can hear. “Speak Lord, your servant is listening.” Listen to Jesus and follow Him. This is the message of today’s gospel. Friends, change is possible if we listen to the right voice. Just a simple reminder, sometimes God stays silent until we are ready to listen. God gave us mouth that is close and ears to tell us to listen more and speak less. The smarter you get, the less you speak. Friends, listen more than you speak. And you know what, God speaks to those who take time to listen. And He listen to those who takes time to pray. Friends, God sees your struggles, keep talking to Him and listen for His directions. “This is my belived Son, Listen to Him.” Today, spend your time in listening for there is a voice that does not use words. Sometimes people just need someone to listen. No advice. No words. Just an ear. LISTEN! NB: Listening is the beginning of prayer. Blessings Fr. Jhack
