Monday of the 6th week of Eastertide
First reading – Acts 16:11-15
“She listened to us, and the Lord opened her heart to accept what Paul was saying”. How beautiful! We must aspire that this happens in us. From her part, Lydia was listening to the Word of God. We must listen to the Word of God like Lydia. When we have disposition, the Lord will also open our heart. We must listen with complete docility to the Word of God. The Word of God will open our heart. Often, we listen to the Word of God to hear that which substantiates our way of life or our actions. We don’t let the Word of God decide our actions. We must listen with complete openness to the Word of God and then the Word of God will open our heart. Let’s reflect: Am I listening to the Word of God with complete docility that it can open our heart?
