Pope Francis: we must listen to God.
We must all face the temptation of turning away from God, like Jonah. This was Pope Francis's message in his homily at morning Mass. "I say to myself, and I say to you: do we let God write our lives? Or do we want to write it ourselves?" And he exhorted those listening "to be docile to the Word of God. To have the capacity to hear His voice and to listen to it. Do we heed the voice of God with docility? "Yes, I want to be docile!" Do you have the capacity to hear God, to listen to him? The capacity to find the Word of God in everyday stories or are you guided only by your own ideas and perhaps you do not let the Lord surprise you with his voice?
