Reflections
 
"People in the world...have courage to commit yourselves to the truth....Hear His voice!....Hear His voice and follow Him!....Only the Good Shepherd will lead you to the full truth about life" (Pope John Paul II) and every one of us is called to life, to follow in Jesus' footsteps in different ways. Each of us has been given different gifts, strengths and weaknesses. By listening to the call of God we can do his will for the good of others. Through prayer, we can hear God talking to us and showing us the way. There are many ways to pray.... sitting, standing, kneeling… using words or in silence and stillness. What matters in prayer is that we are trying to listen to God. Often reading or listening to words from the Bible – the Word of God – can be a good way of helping us to tune in to God’s voice. The Bible also teaches that when we pray, really seeking to know God, the Holy Spirit comes to our help.
