Reflection

“The best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.” –Fred Rogers

Prayer

God who hears,

We live in a culture where it is hard to listen with our hearts as much as our ears. The noise projected from our media ironically gets in our way and seems to impede our freedom to dialogue with authenticity, sincerity, and, above all, empathy. Help us to become more like you. Ready and willing really to listen with full attention to the people we encounter at work, at school, in our homes and communities. Amen.

Call to Action

Strive to listen with my heart as much as my ears to the needs of those I serve today.
