In Episode 77 of LIving the Catholic Faith, we hear the Gospel for the 19 Sunday of Ordinary Time. Jesus comes to His Apostles in the storm. In our first reading from 1st Kings, the Lord comes to Elijah in a tiny whispering sound. God comes to us as well. Our Topic of the Week is Hearing vs. Listening. Do we hear the Lord? If so, are we listening to Him? In Breaking Open the Word, we think about what impedes our ability to hear and listen to the Lord. We can be a distracted people, distracted by all the noise of this world, others, and by the pleasures/stresses of modern day living. And yet, we are called to listen to the Lord. God is with us in all things, all the time. Will we choose to make listening to Him our priority in life? Join me, Deacon Steve, as we contemplate God's call to us to be His disciples, to listen to Him and to continue our journey in Living the Catholic Faith.
