Listen to Him

“While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.’” (MT 17: 5)

We are surrounded by the mass media, by the so-called official “experts,” “authorities,” “commentators” and “interpreters,” who know “better,” who are “wiser and smarter” and who expect us to listen to them. Our God reminds us Who we should trust and listen to: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”

“From the shining cloud the Father’s voice is heard: This is my beloved Son, hear him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
