It has been sometimes said that “prayer is listening.” What are we listening for? How do we do this effectively? Join us this week to hear this 30-minute program about listening spiritually. Feel free to share your questions or experiences of listening.
(We may also consider last week’s audio program about “agency” and our ability to handle individual and collective challenges, including those in our communities.)
This week’s Christian Science Sentinel includes the article “One thing is needful.” It reminds us that listening to the Christ is what Jesus said is the one needful action.
Often when I’m fretting over a problem, whether a personal issue or a world crisis, I am reminded of the Bible’s Mary and Martha when they hosted Jesus in their home (see Luke 10:38–42)…. Martha was “cumbered about much serving”—felt burdened about preparing the meal. Mary, on the other hand, simply sat at Jesus’ feet listening to his teaching.
Join us via Zoom to consider together being good “listeners.”
