The Lord was with him, not permitting any word of his to be without
effect.
(1Samuel 3:19)
Learning how to listen to the voice of the Lord
is key to spiritual growth. Every saint’s life illustrates
this point in one way or another. Francis of Assisi
heart the Lord say, “Rebuild my Church,” and even
though it took him some time to understand what god
meant, Francis was faithful to that command. Mother
Teresa felt God ask her to leave her order and care
for the poorest of the poor. These saints, and so
many other, responded because these words had a
powerful effect on them.
But it isn’t just in the deep, life-changing moments that god wants to speak to us. In fact, these
saints could hear these “big” messages because they
had experience discerning the quieter messages that
Jesus put in their hearts. And that’s how it can happen for us. When we sense God telling us, “Come to
me, and I will give you peace,” we can stop for a moment and turn our hearts to him. Or when we hear
‘Come and confess your sins,” we can make a quick
examination of conscience and ask for his mercy.
Responding to these small promptings will bring us
closer to the Lord– and they’ll help us hear him in the
bigger areas of our lives!
The Holy Spirit never tires of telling us that
Jesus has redeemed us and is offering us new life.
He never tires of nudging us toward more virtuous
behavior so that we can become more like Christ. He
never tires of helping us find the way to peace, the
peace that comes from aligning ourselves with his will.
Yielding to the Lord and letting him have an
effect on us—this is our great challenge. It’s easy to
go our own way without listening for God’s word. But
when we see the fruit of hearing and following him, we
know it is the greatest treasure we can possibly have.
“Open my ears, Lord, to hear
your word. Give me the courage to
follow you wherever you lead.”

“Dear children, I am here among you
as a mother who desires to help you to
come to know the truth. While I lived your
life on earth I had knowledge of the truth,
and by this alone, a piece of Heaven
on earth. That is why I desire the same for
you, my
children. The Heavenly Father desires pure
hearts
filled with the knowledge of the truth. He
desires for you to love all those whom you
meet, because I also
love my Son in all of you. This is the beginning of coming to know the truth. Many
false truths are being offered to you. You
will overcome them with a heart cleansed
by fasting, prayer, penance and the Gospel.
This is the only truth and it is the truth which
my Son left you. You do not need to examine it much. What is asked of you, as I also
have done, is to love and to give. My children, if you love, your heart will be a home
for my Son and me, and the words of my
Son will be the guiding light in your life. My
children, I will make use of you, apostles of
love, to help all of my children to come to

CONTROLS for the New Year
Give some thought to controls in your life.
You can’t control the length of your life, but you
can control its width and depth.
You can’t control the contour of your
countenance, but you can control its expression.
You can’t control the other fellow’s opportunities,
but you can grasp your own.
You can’t control the weather, much as you try,
but you can control the moral atmosphere
which surrounds you.
You can’t control the distance that your head shall
be above the ground, but you can control the
height of the contents of your head.
You can’t control the other fellow’s
annoying faults, but you can see to it that
you yourself do not develop or harbor provoking
propensities.
You can’t control hard times or rainy days, but
you can bank money now to boost you through
both.
Why worry about things you can’t control?
You will have your hands full if you just
get busy controlling things that
depend upon you.
