Msgr. Pope on Listening to God Through the Din of Everyday Noise

“[A designated video] takes an interesting twist on the usual cell-phone commercial which emphasizes strong signals, numerous ‘bars’ of signal strength, and the memorable question, ‘Can you hear me now?’ . . . The signal strength is more about the strength of the world to hold us captive. And the incessant question ‘Can you hear me now’ comes to represent the din of a world that never stops its intrusive distractions and the need to hear another voice, the voice of God.”

In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on the noise that permeates our lives and the voice of God that continually reaches out to us.
