Today’s Reflection: Grant us the grace, we pray O Lord, to listen to even voices that we consider strange or unfamiliar. May we exhaust one another with our listening, with our recognition, with our validation. May we never hesitate to hear your own voice within the words or cries of another. — Patrick Hyland, SJ
