Jeremiah 7:23,25-26
Listen to my voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people. From the day that your fathers left the land of Egypt even to this day, I have sent you untiringly all my servants the prophets. Yet they have not obeyed me nor paid heed.

God’s consistent message is to listen…because God is speaking. God is speaking in each of our hearts a tender message of unconditional love…a message that tells us who we are! Unfortunately, we have not been taught very well to listen to that voice in silent prayer. Prophets have spoken for God as well…delivering the message that we must turn away from our insatiable desires for power, prestige and wealth (ego)…and turn back to the God Who calls us all to be one body. But those in power have consistently thrown out the prophets. Jesus calls each of us to reach out to the poor and the outcast. During this period of Lent…let us take time out to go into the spiritual desert so we can listen to God’s silent message.
