The World Is Noisy – God Whispers®

Episode 118: "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways." – 1 Corinthians 13:11

As you grow in your life of prayer do you find yourself less in need of both human and divine consolations? What can we learn regarding our growth in spiritual maturity from the widow and her "mite" size offering in Luke's gospel? (See Luke 21:1–4.) Tune in to this episode as author and host Julia Monnin shares some thoughts on "putting an end to childish ways" (not to be confused with "childlike ways") and growing in spiritual maturity. Tying the theme of being purified of our desire to be validated by the world and people around us and instead seeking to please God and God alone, Julia shares with listeners Reflection #77 from her book The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume I titled "An Audience of One"

Episode 117: "As proof that you are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, 'Abba, Father!' So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God." - Galatians 4:6–7

Episode 116: “Therefore, Lord, we pray: graciously accept this oblation of our service, that of your whole family; order our days in your peace, and command that we be delivered from eternal damnation and counted among the flock of those you have chosen.” - from The Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I)

---In a world that seems to be constantly moving at an ever-increasing pace of nonstop hustle and bustle, the words from the Roman Canon "order our days in your peace" are so inviting, warm, and welcoming. What if all of our days truly were “ordered in His peace”? What if the “I can’t keep up” pace of life actually slowed down enough to move instead at the Lord’s—often active and moving but never busy and frantic—pace of true peace? It’s something to ponder. In fact, it’s something to long for and pine after.

Tune in to this episode as author and host Julia Monnin shares some thoughts on practical ways we can allow the Lord to purify our hearts of the "busy" so we can better order our days in His peace. In this episode, Julia shares with listeners Reflection #125 from her book The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume I titled "Torn Nets."

Episode 115: "To consider with the Lord what the scene of your heart looks like in this season—the good and the bad, the aspects that are going smoothly as well as those you never would have chosen—this can tell us a lot about what's going on with us, and far more importantly, what the Lord is doing in our lives and hearts. So . . . 'What is the landscape of your heart?'" – Audrey Weatherhead

Episode 114: “I guess when it comes to us knowing and fulfilling our missions, God is a God of ‘just enough.’ Yeah, I guess ‘just enough’ is all we really need.” – Julia Monnin (From Reflection #96 titled “Just Enough” in the book The World Is Noisy – God Whispers: Volume I)

---

Tune in to this episode as author and host Julia Monnin reflects a little on the reality of the feeling of "excessive demands." In this episode, Julia quotes a few words from Wilfrid Stinissen’s book Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us*. In this book, Stinissen writes, "‘You can do more than you realize.’ There is so much that slumbers and waits to be awakened within us. God also wants to use our unconscious powers and possibilities. This explains the feeling of Überforderung (excessive demands), which sooner or later arises when we place ourselves at God’s disposal. We believe that we do not have the strength; that God asks too much; but we have more than we think. We have just enough strength as God wills. When he gives a mission, he is obliged to give the strength necessary to carry it out. If awakening the dormant powers is not enough, he creates new ones or does everything himself.”

Episode 109: "I must trust that the extraordinary is indeed all around me in what seems to be incredibly (and even painfully) ordinary."

---

Join author and host Julia Monnin as she takes a closer look at Reflection #316 ("Remaining Faithful in the Ordinary") found in her book The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume II. ---

"The ordinary feels, well, ordinary, Lord. But I know that it is in the ordinary that I will more deeply and purely be rooted in you. Yes, I know when I kiss the face of a child, I kiss the face of God. I know when I hold the hand of my husband, I hold the hand of my Savior. I know when I give someone something to eat or fill their cup with water, I am feeding you and giving you something to drink. So, I won’t let 'the ordinary' make me doubt your presence in and through my life, Lord. I won’t let 'the ordinary' make me believe that I am doing something wrong. Instead, I will trust. I will trust that this is all part of your plan. I will trust that this is all part of my journey. I will trust that my ordinary life is, in the process of becoming something extraordinary."
