Hearing God’s Voice

On the anniversary of Sister Lucia dos Santos’ passing, this homily invites us to reflect on a simple but challenging question: are we truly listening to God? Through Scripture and the Gospel account of Jesus healing a deaf man, we’re reminded how easy it is to hear without letting God’s word reach our hearts. His correction is not harsh punishment, but loving guidance meant to draw us back when we wander. Like the moment echoed in The Chronicles of Narnia, sometimes we miss God because we aren’t actively looking or listening for Him. The message is a gentle call to slow down, pray with intention, and create space to hear His voice.
