Hearing the voice of God

Deut 4 29 Seek me with all your heart

God created us with legitimate physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs.

When we hear these needs calling to us, we hear the voice of God.

Similarly, the good dreams and desires that fill our hearts are placed there by God and stirred by the Holy Spirit, to call us along the path of salvation.

When we hear these deepest desires calling us forth, we hear the voice of God

Finally, in creating us, God endowed us each with certain talents and abilities as tools for life.

When we hear our talents calling us forth, we hear the voice of God inviting us to fully participate in the adventure of salvation.

It is through prayer, reflection, the scriptures, the grace of the sacraments, the wisdom of the church, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit that we each can discover and walk the unique path that God is calling us to walk.

The world and all it has to offer can never content the human heart.

Only God can.
