Weekly Reflection
This is My Beloved Son, Listen to Him!
In today’s Gospel, we hear God the Father declare Jesus as His Beloved Son. This declaration was significant not only for Jesus as He courageously moved toward His Passion, but also for the Apostles, in the presence of two great figures from the Old Testament—Moses, the bearer of God’s Law, and Elijah, the great prophet. This powerful moment revealed to the Apostles that they must look beyond the veil of Jesus' humanity to His divinity. They were called to look past His crown of thorns and see His crown of glory. The Cross, which seemed a symbol of shame and weakness, was in fact the sign of salvation. Yet, the Transfiguration was not just a revelation; it was a transformative experience that paved the way for salvation. To attain this salvation, the Apostles—and all who follow Christ—must listen to Him. Indeed, the Father’s voice continues to echo in our churches today: “This is My Beloved Son, listen to Him.”Fr. Lazarus Onuh
Are You Listening to Christ?
Are we truly listening to Christ? Today, more than ever, it seems increasingly difficult to hear His voice. The world around us is filled with so many competing voices, each demanding our attention. In this noisy, busy world, the voice of Christ can easily be drowned out. We face a constant barrage of texts, news feeds, emails, calls, social media posts, entertainment, and advertisements—all pulling us in different directions. It’s easy to wonder if we’ve reached a threshold of sensory overload, where our ears and minds can no longer process everything we encounter. In the midst of this noise, it is crucial for us to ask: Can we still make time to listen to Christ?
Are You Listening Frequently Enough to Christ?
It’s one thing to recognize the need to tune out the world’s noise from time to time, but the question remains: how often do we actually listen to Christ? Are we listening enough to retain His message? Studies have shown that, on average, we forget about 93% of what we hear within seven days. So, is it enough to listen to Christ only on Sundays? What about the rest of the week? To retain the message of Christ, we need to listen more regularly. This will require commitment and intentionality on our part. Thankfully, many parishes offer daily Masses, and there are countless apps that can help us meditate on God’s Word. For those who drive, we are blessed with the opportunity to listen to Scripture through music and audio Bibles.
How Can We Listen to Christ?
There are many ways we can listen to Christ. We can listen by reading and meditating on His Holy Word—the Bible. We can listen by spending time quietly in chapels and churches that are open for private prayer. We can listen by actively participating in Mass and attentively listening to the sermons preached from the pulpit. We can listen to Christ through the voice of conscience within us. We can listen by engaging with religious content on various social media platforms. We can listen by adhering to the wise counsel of our parents, family, and friends.
God invites us today to listen to His Son, Jesus Christ. Like Abraham in the First Reading, let us not only listen, but also obey.
