Reflection for Saturday October 14, Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time: Luke 11:27-28

Luke 11:27-28
While Jesus was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed.” He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”

Reflection:
How can you hear the word of God? Does He speak to you in the first place? Of course, through your solemn prayers God speaks to you. Though your reading of the scriptures God speaks to you as well. God speaks to you also through the poor, hungry and spiritually deprived person.

What would you do after hearing God speak to you? You should act, you must learn to translate your conversation with God though your concrete acts of faith.

Many of us sometimes forget to have a daily interaction with Jesus. Sad to say but we often spend more time browsing the internet or in front of our high definition television rather than listen to God. This is the reality; we lack time for God that’s why we have so many worries.

But the moment we learn to hear or listen more and translate what we hear and see to acts of faith. We start to have a more peaceful life, yes there would still be problems but we would be able to pull through it. For the reason that we now have that deeper intimacy with our God. Facilitated by our frequent listening to Him. 

If we can make time for our many earthly undertakings, why can’t we create time to listen to God? We gain more wisdom when we start to listen. And we allow ourselves to be God’s ambassadors of goodwill when we translate that listening to factual acts of faith.

Have time to hear God and you will begin to become deaf to the worries of this world. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
