Are You Listening?
Listening as the prophets listen, is not being able to hear clearly, the way you can hear [someone talking to you]. It means listening with what St. Benedict calls 'the ear of the heart.' The ear of the heart hears the voice of God above the voices of the world. It hears the voice of hope in the midst of despair, the voice of calm in the midst of fear, the voice of new life in the midst of death. The Biblical prophets listened with the ear of their hearts, and that is why, when they did speak, people listened.

--Mimsy Jones
from “Listening with the Ear of Your Heart”
