LEARN TO LISTEN
Luke 10: 38-42
Reflecting on today’s Gospel, I find myself on the contrary way. The Gospel invites us to become an audience than a spokesman. But, at this moment, I am learning the Thai Language, so I learn to more speak. Even this is only an exercise, until now, I don’t have many vocabularies. Every day, I try to reply to the question of the teacher and my friend but many times I fold because I can not understand the question.
I think that at this moment Jesus invites us, invites me, to learn how to listen to Him. Maria shows us his way, that is to sit in the feet of Jesus and listen to Him. What I’m doing now can bring me to more listen and sit. Now, maybe I need to more speak than listen but will come the time for me, to be more listen than speak.
In our busy days, we try to listen to the Word of God, in our particular way. Someone can download the daily short meditation. Others may be to enter the church and just see the holy cross. Other again maybe can read the daily Gospel in his office.
Let us try it.
