Reflection for October 9, Saturday of the 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 we hear the healing voice of God? But does God speak to us in the first place? Yes of course God speaks to us when we pray. God speaks to us when we read the scriptures. God speaks to us 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, tinkering our smart phones 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 and listen more to God. We would begin to have a more peaceful life. Yes from time to time there would still be problems but we would be able to pull through it. Why? For the reason that we now have that deeper friendship with God. Facilitated by our frequent interaction with Him.  

If we can make time for our many earthly undertakings, why can’t we create time for God? We gain more wisdom when we create time for God. And when we translate our interactions with God to actual acts of faith.  

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