We are back in Ordinary Time now. Today’s first reading is one of my favorites. It talks about Samuel hearing the voice of God and not recognizing it. To myself, I wonder how often I may have missed hearing God trying to tell me something, and Him saying to Himself, I have to keep calling Bob 3 and 4 times; maybe I’ll just hit him upside the head with a 2 by 4! OK, so maybe God doesn’t think like that, but I certainly feel like sometimes that’s how dense I can be. Part of reading Scripture is learning to hear God speak, which is another good reason to keep listening to these commentaries. Jesus asks in today’s Gospel what it is the disciples are looking for. And we have to ask ourselves that as well. What are we looking for, and how do we hear God?
