Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Reflecting on the Word Pope Francis notes in Evangelii Gaudium that listening will always challenge us and call us to change ways of thinking, living, and viewing the world. St. Francis de Sales counsels that hearing God’s voice requires making time to pray with the scriptures, reflect on the liturgy, and study Church teaching. And we need to reflect on personal and communal life events, at home and afar, whether they comfort or challenge us. When we turn an ear to all these sources, we can meet God in that intersection between teaching and life. There we discover what is useful and what is not, where God is present and where God is not. There we can find God and God can find us. There we can glimpse the mind of God and deepen our relationship with Jesus, who shows us God’s face. Take time to listen each day.
