God’s voice is in the silence.

Mark 9:7

Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

This is one of those major moments in the life of Jesus known as “The Transfiguration” when Peter, James and John heard God’s voice giving them a powerful message:

Jesus is the beloved Son of God…and they should listen to him.

As followers of Jesus, we also are called to listen to him.

How do we do this?

Try spending some time in solitude reading Jesus’ words in the Gospels and then sit in silence and allow those words to speak to you in the depths of your heart.

“Listen to him.”

These are God’s words to each of us.

Are we taking time to listen?

St. John of the Cross said, “God’s first language is silence.”

That’s why some form of contemplative prayer is also important…a time of silent listening…to allow your incessant thoughts to cease.

If you make this a practice, I promise that your life will change for the better.

Trust…and you will be led to new life, inner peace and your true self.
