Reflect today upon this twofold action commanded by our Lord. First, listen to Him. Listen to Him in the "darkness of faith." Let Him draw you into the deepest and most certain convictions about His love, mercy, and very Self. Then, as you savor these hidden and holy communications from our Lord, look for ways by which He wants to speak to others through you. You do not have to initiate this proclamation; you only need to respond when He directs you. By building a deep level of prayer in this way, you will not only come to know our Lord in ways that are beyond words, but you will also know how and when He wants to speak to others through you.
