Discipleship: How to Listen

How to listen.

Listen with all your attention, all your senses and your whole being to the smallest part of yourself! Empty yourself to the Holy Spirit. In doing so you enable dialogue with the people without going through the image you have of the people in front of you while forgetting your own image. It is a pure, direct, even fusional listening. You are connected to the Way, the Truth and the Light of our Lord Jesus Christ. You have erased all filters. You open your heart, your mind and your soul and let the Love of Christ express itself. You listen with your eyes and see with your ears. You have made room for the Holy Spirit to enable an exchange, a neutral space where there is no expectation, no response, an unconditional space in which everything is done and undone in a flash of lucidity caused by the force of the Holy Spirit. Your Love of Jesus makes the exchange with the people you approach complete, unique and perfect. You abandon yourself to that Love to mingle with each person you meet so that life is renewed in a holy moment that you are experiencing together. Nothing exists except this bond with Jesus, which is created, through His grace and the Holy Spirit and which takes you together in an exploration of the unknown as in a treasure hunt which is the true Love, the unique and unconditional Love of the Holy Trinity. It is an art of living to know how to listen and watch while stepping aside for the benefit of the other. It is then a miracle that occurs, a magical moment that reveals all the splendor of life that is reflected in the relationship with the other. You light the fire of passion by transmitting all the love that passes through you and realize that the connection you have established to the glory of the Father is the most powerful of energies. The most wonderful aspect is when you realize that the others are the reflection of yourself! Love yourself and shine, our Lord's grace and the Holy Spirit will take you beyond thought!
