This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.

“Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice,
‘This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.’ Suddenly, looking around, the disciples no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them.” (MK 9: 7-8)

This is God’s will for us: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” When we participate in the Holy Mass, when we read the Bible or just the Daily Readings, or when we adore Him before the Blessed Sacrament are many ways we can “listen to Him.” When we are married, “listening to Him” means also to respect our vocation and to take care of the time important for our relationship. When a husband and wife do not protect the time to listen to each other, it will be more difficult for them to “listen to Him.”

“The heavens were opened and the voice of the Father thundered: This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
