|
Voice crying in the wilderness John's was a voice crying in the wilderness, a lonely voice that many of his contemporaries ignored. The voice of teh prophet is not the only voice hat is ignored. There are many lonely voices in our world that go unheeded. Somewhere at this moment a child is crying- crying for love or maybe simply for bread. Somewhere a young person is crying - crying for a listeneing ear or an understanding heart. Somewhere a deserted wife and mother is crying -crying for the support of a husband. Somehere old people are crying - crying for a word from their children. There are thousand lonely voices, a thousand unheard cries in our world, coming from the victims of injustice or neglect. Lord, help us to listen to these voices. Above all, help us to listen to your voice whispering to us in the wilderness of our hearts, telling us that we are loved by the Father, and that we are to love one another. |
