Week 16 - The Journey Day 1
"But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you." John 16:13-14
"He will speak what he hears." You ever been in a conversation and your are listening and also thinking about what you are going to say. Pay attention to yourself today while in conversation, are you really listening or are you formulating a response.
The same is true in our conversation with our Triune God, we read scripture and we respond but are we listening with the heart? Quiet reflection with silence as the backdrop and being attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, this is where true knowledge comes from. As a priest friend of mine says, "LISTEN, shut up and listen."
"What is God saying to me?" That's God's question to you, stop what you are doing, read the scripture and listen to God. It takes practice.
What is God saying to me? Your life is meant to glorify Me, to give thanks for the beautiful creation that you are. I do not make or create junk, you are Mine and I Am yours, we both know it. This is the only truth that truly matters, all else revolves around it.
Dear Father, another glorious morning in prayer surrounded by friends if only others can come to this understanding then the world can live in peace if only for a moment in time it will be worth it. Thank You Father for answered prayers, for allowing the Advocate to operate within. To reveal truth in a world full of lies that at times I use to justify my actions. You are God, You are my Father and I love You. Thank You for allowing me to listen, You are at rest within Your temple that hands did not build. I praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Amen.
Mary, Queen Mother, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of Mother Church, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
