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. –
