I realise people want an instruction manual on how to discern God’s voice but there isn’t one for all.  He speaks to us in varied ways, through a gentle whisper, signs, a spoken word, a passage, a memory, a friend, stranger, song. The promptings of the Holy Spirit often challenges us to come out of the comfort zone of our daily lives. And so often we wrestle with whether we want to heed the call.  Other times we may receive consolations and a clear direction. The list of ways is inexhaustible for the Holy Spirit blows where it wills and cannot be contained and compartmentalised. 

Hence the journey always begins with knowing who God is in our lives. Building our relationship with Him through prayer and His Word,  His Word made flesh. Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

Peace all just to share a little on how encouraging all the readings, psalms Gospel acclamation and Gospel of today actually is. When we desire to know God’s Will,  He gives us the wisdom and knowledge to follow Him.  When we give our all to Him and to the service of our brethren for His sake, we will have our heavenly inheritance. We don’t have to all be Theologians for He reveals the mysteries of His Kingdom to mere children.  Here are extracts from the above mentioned weaved together…

I prayed, and understanding was given me; I entreated, and the spirit of Wisdom came to me.

Make us know the shortness of our life that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Show forth your work to your servants; let your glory shine on their children.
Let the favour of the Lord be upon us: give success to the work of our hands.

The word of God is something alive and active: it can judge the secret emotions and thoughts. No created thing can hide from him; everything is uncovered and open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account of ourselves.

Jesus says ‘I tell you solemnly, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, father, children or land for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not be repaid a hundred times over.

Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for revealing the mysteries of the Kingdom to mere children. Because everything is possible for God.’  In the world to come, we will have eternal life.
