Blessed Elisabeth of the Trinity prayed:
"O Eternal Word, Word of my God, I want to spend my
life in listening to You, to become wholly teachable
that I may learn all from You. Then through all nights,
all voids, all helplessness, I want to gaze on You always
and remain in Your great light."

all voids, all helplessness, I want to gaze on You always

We come to Holy Mass to hearken to the words of the Word, to be
wounded by them, to be espoused by them in such a way that,
as the one Body of Christ, we are drawn upward with our Divine Head
to the Father in the Holy Spirit. A listening Church will be one in
which Saint Paul's goal for the Corinthians is necessarily fulfilled:
"power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment" (1 Cor 7:35).
Fr M Kirby, o.Cist
