Dominican Preaching through Word and Image
Posted on February 14, 2016 by opreach
Today is the First Sunday of Lent
In today’s reading from Romans 10:8-13, Paul writes “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.”
We so often look and listen around us for God’s voice – for direction – for wisdom. Could it be that what we need is a little less noise – a little less searching – and a lot more quiet listening to the Spirit who dwells within. How much more intimate can God be than in our mouth and in our hearts?
Listen.

Nice shot and sentiment.
Thanks, Greg. 😀
To remove ourselves from chatter and noise is to allow
our spirit, our soul, to not only search God’s plan but to
allow ourselves the opportunity to know God more deeply.
In doing this, we are more likely to treat our earth companions
with more patience, understanding and love.
