“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10, 27-29)
Normally men feel that God is close to them, he loves them, when he eras their voices, when he listens to their requests. For the majority, the miracle is the affidavit, the proof of the love of God. From there the crisis of the faith – of a minimally formed faith, indeed – when god apparently doesn’t listen to our requests. We must, however, be coherent with our own beliefs and apply them to our relationship with God. If we behaved this way we would ask ourselves. Am I listening to the voice of God? Am I listening to the screams for help He is sending me in his pain and from his need? Won’t I be giving him more than enough reason to believe that I don’t love him? Also, if the plans of God escape our intelligence, couldn’t the same happen with God and us, in other words, that God doesn’t ask of us things that we can’t do, but only asks of us the help that we can give him.
God is a good Lord and has the right to find good vassals, good servants, good friends, good disciples. He has given his life for his sheep, for us. What more could he do? Could he have given a greater sign of his love, could he have preformed a better miracle for the human race than to save us from our sins and open the doors to eternal life for us? Given this he has the right to an equivalent answer from us. We must hear his voice and follow him, because only if we do so can he complete the work he has begun in us; only then can he give us eternal life he promised. We must be the good sheep who have a right to find such a good shepherd.
Intention: Tune our conscience, without letting it be muddled by the voices of this world. Listen to request of God from the Sacrarium or those of or fellow man in need. And care for them.
