Act on it

“He said to them in reply, ‘My mother and my brothers  are those who hear the word of God and act on it.’” (LK 8: 21) 

Yesterday we spoke about taking care of how we hear. Today it is time to “act on it.” When we hear with love we make a space for many different acts of love. When we hear with love, we become gentler, more respectful, more focused on the quality of gifts, we spend more time together and our dialogue (including our inner dialogue) is full of love. These actions come from good hearing, these actions lead us to better listening. This is how we can create a circle of love. 

“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” (Gospel Acclamation)
